I am wondering if it is possible to write a userfolder that does the following:

For certain categories of users, for instance Teachers, while keeping their current authorisation of Teachers, I need to let them "impersonate" a user with lower authorisation than they currently have, say Students.

So a logged in Teacher could for instance examine what a particular student sees in a Student portal (i.e. "previewing" it as would that particular student) This seems to have nothing to do with the security mechanism (as the teacher should keep its current authorization).

Make a special view(skin) that defines how students see the content. Allow teachers to use that (student) view; prevent students to use the teachers only views... Dieter
