Impersonation of an existing user in AD when logged in as admin: Possible?

Hi, I was wondering if the following was possible.

A user logs in using Forms Authentication which is aithenticated
against AD and is set a FormsAuthentication Cookie.

If the user is an admin user I would like to be able to impersonate
another user simply by passing through the username. I was hoping that
because the current user is an Admin user they could easily
impersonate another user without having to supply the others users
password.

The sceptic in me knows that this should probably not work as a user
should have to supply the existing username / password of a user if
the want to impersonate another user but I thought that I would just
ask :)

Thanks for any response / help
