admin is a special user in aim it is like superuser, it can do everything. Custom group with admin permission is not equivalent to admin user
By default, only CQ admin user can impersonate others for testing purposes. Often times, you need a non-admin user to test out others' account. For that, it is possible for a non-admin user to impersonate another person as long as it was set-up before hand.
Say you are 'A' and wish to impersonate 'B', you would need to open up B's profile (using 'admin' account), and add 'A' as an impersonator:
- Log on as Admin.
- Pull up user profile of user A http://<host>:<post>/useradmin
- Search for 'B', double click on 'B'.
- Click on B's 'impersonator' tab.
- Search for 'A' on the upper-left search box.
- Drag 'A' into the right 'impersonator' panel.
- save
