title: Set Laravel's Auth user
body: <p>I'm using Laravel's <code>Auth</code> class to authenticate users on my site, basic <code>Auth::attempt(...)</code> stuff.</p>
  
  <p>Recently there has been a new requirement (yay stakeholders!) and now there's a need for users to create new users (secondary users). Since the login of the main users goes through a third party system, there's no way I can store the secondary users with the main users (and re-use the current authentication system).</p>
  
  <p>What I thought of was to somehow tell the <code>Auth</code> class to login and forcefully set the user on the <code>Auth::user()</code> method.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this?</p>
