Description

Academic coordinators impersonating each other would not be useful, but when the user is an admin it should offer this class of users. Authorization will need to be updated accordingly on backend.

Research direction

Start by tracing the impersonation flow in the AngularJS client and the backend authorization path. Confirm where academic coordinators are offered as impersonation targets and where admin permissions are checked. Done means admins can impersonate academic coordinators while coordinators cannot impersonate each other, with the relevant checks covered by existing tests.
