Am I impersonating?

[BarbecueSilver]

Hej there,

thanks at first for this awesome project. 👍

Question
When I had run impersonate({...}), how do I know that I am actually impersonating another user?

Context
I want to setup an impersonation feature in the way that you are visually aware of impersonating a different user. Also I want to show up a button which triggers stopImpersonate(), so that the user must not logout fully and login again.
Hope I didn't miss any information in the docs or code.

I maybe made some progress here.

Did the following on the server side:

  const currentSession = await accountsServer.findSessionByAccessToken(authToken);

Via TypeScript I get the return type of a Session:

export interface Session {
  id: string;
  userId: string;
  token: string;
  valid: boolean;
  userAgent?: string | null;
  ip?: string | null;
  createdAt: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

When checking the currentSession, I have some additional data.
extraData is missing either in the interface or in the return type of findSessionByAccessToken.

{
  ...
  // Additional to the mentioned properties above:
  extraData: { impersonatorUserId: 'someId123321' },
}

Shall I create an issue for it?
