Summary0000085: [API] User Status Masquerade Within Session
DescriptionIt is inevitable that hackers and modders, eventually even XMB devs, will need to add a feature that requires a temporary downgrade of user status. We could call this the masquerade permissions set.

Example: I've created a beta version of an XML Sitemap Protocol addon for XMB. It generates a list of all the primary URLs on the board, including all posts and forums. Now there's an immediate problem with this concept. If I login as SADMIN and run the Sitemap script, that script is going to have access to posts and forums that are not part of the sitemap. I need the script to masquerade as X_GUEST when it queries the list of forums that it should have access to.

With some clever coding, I believe we can make that exact feature a reality.
