## Installation and configuration

1. `$ pip install django-runas`

2. Add `runas` to the bottom of your `INSTALLED_APPS`

3. Add `runas.middleware.RunAsMiddleware` to the bottom of `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` or `MIDDLEWARE`

4. Add the following to your `urlpatterns`, underneath where you have included the admin site (this is important):

    ```python

    url("^admin/", include(admin.site.urls)),

    url("^admin/runas/", include('runas.urls')),

    ```

5. (Optional) If you would like a banner to display on each page of the site when you are impersonating a user,

   add the following to your base template:

    ```django

    {% load runas_tags %}

    {% runas_banner %}

    ```

6. Log in to the admin and navigate to the change page of a user, and you will see in the top right a new

   button called ***Impersonate \***
