Tell me more Lee. What actions are you trying to take when you are switching. Let's pretend that a mascot is a totally different kind of identity (as opposed to a member) that different people can impersonate as, who would you want to be able to do that? What are the use cases where you want to impersonate a "team admin"? What do you mean by "team admin" in this case?

Heya Jennie. A full identity switch, I hit my profile pic and switch to another account. I have certain accounts that I use which are essentially a full entity on my Forem and interact as I would, in the same way I would on Twitter where I can pre login accounts, then easily switch when I am posting content or replying to posts etc.

Hey @lee - trying to dig a little deeper into your needs here.

Is there anything you'd do specifically as a team admin, besides you can speak as a different persona? Besides posting, commenting, reacting, was there anything else you had in mind you wish you could achieve as a team admin, or just simply switching to another user account more easily?

Hey Amy, I think just being able to switch to another account more easily, both on web and mobile app. However, posting, commenting, reacting as a different persona would be a great start.
