Bugzilla includes the ability to have one user impersonate another, in something called a sudo session, so long as the person doing the impersonating has the appropriate privileges.

While a session is in progress, Bugzilla will act as if the impersonated user is doing everything. This is especially useful for testing, and for doing critical work when the impersonated user is unavailable. The impersonated user will receive an email from Bugzilla when the session begins; they will not be told anything else.
