I'm not sure that I know what you mean. Do you want to be authenticated as any user without logging in? And is this in development or production?

It's usual behaviour in web apps when you been admin auth as someone else or make immediate auth of just signed up user. Generally used in controller like: Openmaze.authenticate(conn, user) where user is record from db.

Right now set_session is a part of Plug based module and I can't invoke it in a way described above.

For the immediate auth of just signed up user, you should be able to add a call to put_session(conn, :user_id, user_id) to the signup logic (if there are no errors, or course).
As for viewing a resource as if you are another user, it depends a lot on the nature of your app. To be able to help you, I need the answer to the following questions:

1. How are you authorizing user resources - using roles, id, something else?
2. Do you always want to access certain pages as a certain user?
3. How do you want to access a page as another user - are you going to use an admin control panel or some other way?

put_session works fine for just signed up user. All other stuff is more about my crazy app ;) Thanx a lot!
