Switch to another user

Hi,

Is it possible to switch to another user's credentials after logging in? I
seem to remember that there is a stored procedure for this, but I can't find
details anywhere. I want to temporarily suspend my login's admin privileges
and become an "ordinary" user, for testing purposes.

Thanks,

Peter

A sysadmin role member can execute SETUSER to change security context
for the current database connection. See the Books Online for details.

Hope this helps.
