The objective is to reimplement the backend code for the impersonation feature in the new implementation of Expertiza. The current implementation relies on sessions, which won't be compatible with the new implementation using JWT tokens for authentication and returning JSON responses. The challenge lies in transitioning the logic from session-based management to JWT-based authentication while maintaining the functionality of impersonating users. The reimplementation involves planning how the backend will communicate with the frontend, potentially requiring changes in existing or new files beyond the impersonate_controller.rb. | The objective is to reimplement the backend code for the impersonation feature in the new implementation of Expertiza.

Expertiza
Expertiza is a Ruby on Rails based open source project. Instructors have the ability to add new projects, assignments, etc., as well as edit existing ones. Later on, they can view student submissions and grade them. Students can also use Expertiza to organize into teams to work on different projects and assignments and submit their work. They can also review other students' submissions.
Project Overview
The objective is to reimplement the backend code for the impersonation feature in the new implementation of Expertiza. The current implementation relies on sessions, which won't be compatible with the new implementation using JWT tokens for authentication and returning JSON responses. The challenge lies in transitioning the logic from session-based management to JWT-based authentication while maintaining the functionality of impersonating users. The reimplementation involves planning how the backend will communicate with the frontend, potentially requiring changes in existing or new files beyond the impersonate_controller.rb.
