Allow admin users to see what other user type can see/do?

I have a Laravel web application consist of 2 types of user:

1. customer
2. admin

---

Base on their user type , they can see, and perform different things.

---

Customer

When log-in as customer, my customer will see different dashboard.

---

Admin

When log-in as admin, I can see a list of users in a table

Example,

1. userA
2. userB
3. userC
4. more …

Goal: I want to see what customer see when click on one of the user on the list.

I couldn’t come up the solution for that.

---

IMO

Will Auth::user()->type work for this scenario ?

The goal is to render the page as Auth:user()->type == ‘customer’, when the actual Auth::user()->type == ‘admin’. I'm not entirely sure if what I am trying to do is possible.

---

How would I do something like that in Laravel ? Am I on the right track ? How do I re-structure my application to achieve this kind of feature.

Any hints / suggestions ?
