Laravel 9 login as another user

I want to be able to login as another user from my administrator account.

I'm making a SPA application with Inertia Js using laravel fortify to handle sessions and login.

In laravel 8 i was able to login as another user but with the laravel 9 the login method makes me logout.

$user = User::find(2);
Auth::guard('web')->login($user); // or // Auth::login($user);

I checked about the csrf token , i tried to exclude my uri but nothing changes.

If you have any idea don't hesitate thanks !

Solution

  • Sometimes using the login feature programmatically in Laravel requires the session to be flushed before logging in as another user.

    //IN CASE YOU WANT TO STORE THE ORIGINAL ADMIN USER FOR REVERTING THE SESSION
$adminUserId = auth()->user()->id;

//FLUSH THE SESSION SO THAT THE NEXT TIME LOGIN IS CALLED IT RUNS THROUGH ALL AUTH PROCEDURES
session()->flush();

//GET THE USER MODEL
$user = User::find(2);

//LOGIN AS THE USER
Auth::login($user);

//IN CASE YOU WANT TO STORE THE ORIGINAL ADMIN USER FOR REVERTING THE SESSION
session()->put('admin_user_id', $adminUserId);
