Displaying the component

Add the following livewire component to your layouts app.blade.php and guest.blade.php

@livewire('nova-impersonating-banner')

or

<livewire:nova-impersonating-banner />

App Layout `app.blade.php`

<body class="font-sans antialiased">
  <x-jet-banner />
    <div class="min-h-screen bg-gray-100">

    {{ $slot }}
    
...

Customisation

The user you are impersonating is passed into the livewire component as $impersonating so you can select what information you wish to show to the user

<div class="flex-grow">
  <p class="text-sm">{{ $impersonating->id }} - {{ $impersonating->name }}</p>
  <p class="text-sm">{{ $impersonating->email }}</p>
</div>

To change the redirect url when you stop impersonating, you can edit the config file config/nova.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Nova Impersonation Redirection URLs
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This configuration option allows you to specify a URL where Nova should
| redirect an administrator after impersonating another user and a URL
| to redirect the administrator after stopping impersonating a user.
|
*/

'impersonation' => [
    'started' => '/',
    'stopped' => '/',
