Impersonating a user from the front end

HI all,
I'm coming from the Bubble world and new to Supabase, and am a fairly experienced developer.
I am building an app with WeWeb as the front end and using Supabase Auth. In Bubble it was trivial to run ann app "as" any user in the database - it loads the app with that user already logged in. I can't figure out how to do this with Supabase.

I'm assuming I need to generate a JWT for a given user, then somehow inject it into the WeWeb front end runtime. Unless there is a simpler way to do this that I'm totally missing. Any guidance is appreciated!
