Description
This issue is imported from pivotal - Originaly created at Mar 15, 2024 by Bart Geesink
When a user impersonates a SURFconextverantwoordelijke, the user is not really impersonated. This makes that various authorization decisions (like restricting what a super admin may do) are still applied.
Really impersonating the user would remove these restrictions.

Research direction
Start by locating the dashboard's current impersonation flow and trace how the impersonated SURFconextverantwoordelijke is represented during authorization decisions. Define the behavior needed so those decisions use the impersonated user's identity, then verify that super-admin restrictions no longer remain when impersonation is active.
