Or you could just change the variables in the session as needed. I did it yesterday just changing the id of the logged user, but you can also change the stored username or email address or anything on session:

$this->Session->write('Auth.User.id',$newLoggedUserId);
$this->Session->write('Auth.User.username',$newLoggedUserName);
$this->Session->write('Auth.User.email',$newLoggedUserEmail);

To login as a user when your are admin you can do this:

In your controller: 

$user = $this->User->findById($idOfUserYouWantToLoginAs);
... // handle case where $user is empty
$this->Auth->login($user['User']);
