    KasparsSemjonovs is correct, this is usually done by assigning your own user another user's permissions. Personally I would not recommend asking for a user's credentials to login with their account.

    No, as admin You cannot log in as this user - if I understood the question correctly. 
    You can only give Yourself or other test account the same permissions/security groups etc. and then do testing with that account.
