06/06/2017, 6:17 PM@lastmjs currently there's no way to "login" as another user. However, the PAT allows you access to any query/mutation, is that not enough for your use case?

06/06/2017, 6:20 PMIt would be really nice to somehow grab the JWT and just pass it up to the client

06/06/2017, 6:39 PMA couple ideas are a stand-alone query to get a user JWT with a PAT, or perhaps a query that allows you to unhash a password...not sure the security implications of that

06/07/2017, 12:06 PMWe don't have a timeline yet, but I do think we should add this at some point. here's an existing feature request: https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests/issues/194
