Clerk adds user impersonation flow with free monthly limit of five

Clerk has added a user impersonation feature that lets developers sign in to their app as a selected user, useful for support and debugging. The documentation provides a guide for building a custom impersonation flow, noting that up to five impersonations per month are free, with higher limits available on the pricing page. The feature is available across Clerk SDKs and can be integrated into dashboards protected by the org:admin:impersonate permission, targeting developers who need to reproduce user issues. The guide warns that it is intended for users who want to build a custom flow, and suggests using the prebuilt Account Portal pages or components for a UI. The implementation uses a server action to generate an actor token via Clerk's Backend API, used to sign in as the impersonated user. If the free limit is exceeded, developers need to consult Clerk's pricing page to purchase additional impersonations.
