| Apr 4, 2017 at 16:59 | comment | added | dzieciou | @JoelCoehoorn Agreed, but that question is not about whether impersonation is a good solution or not. | |
| Apr 4, 2017 at 16:54 | comment | added | Joel Coehoorn | I've seen this feature in some other apps, but I've never been comforatble with it. It's a bad idea, because it allows a rogue administrator to sign other peoples' names to his actions. A good system design also protects users against the actions of their administrators. For example, as an AD Domain Administrator I can change the password of any user in my system, but I can't then put the password back to what it was when I'm done. Users will know their password changed, and can complain about that. | |

About your solution: for 2 letters typed show only matching 2 letter-long usernames,. I wonder how many 2 letter-long usernames containing "al" there are... hint: it's either 0 or 1. same for your 1 and 3 letter-long examples, for any arbitrary string. Either they exist or they don't, "matching usernameS" makes no sense (except if it's case-sensitive) :P

| Apr 3, 2017 at 9:03 | comment | added | Dimitra Miha | Now it is more clear :) Is there a minimum length for user names? | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 9:00 | comment | added | dzieciou | @DimitraMiha Administrators can login as different users, so "al" will not be using this feature. It will be administrators logins as users with both shorter and longer usernames. | |

| Apr 3, 2017 at 8:56 | comment | added | Dimitra Miha | Well, the user 'al' will never see the autocomplete. Is there a chance that he doesn't know that there is this feature? | |
