Is this logging into the app as the user or running a mutation or query as a user? Logging into the app as a user is a feature you'd need to build into your app.
You could build this by writing our own getCurrentUser() function that used alternate logic when an admin is logged in
i need to log in as user
Logging in as a user isn't an authentication issue, it's an authorization issue. Convex doesn't handle any authorization, so you would write logic in your backend that allows probably specific admins to impersonate a user.
