= Impersonating a user
|
|
|
|
An administrator with the appropriate permissions can impersonate a user. For example, if a user experiences a bug in an application, an administrator can impersonate the user to investigate or duplicate the issue.
|
|
|
|
Any user with the `impersonation` role in the realm can impersonate a user.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
. Click *Users* in the menu.
|
|
. Click a user to impersonate.
|
|
. From the *Actions* list, select *Impersonate*.

|
|
* If the administrator and the user are in the same realm, then the administrator will be logged out and automatically logged in as the user being impersonated.
|
|
* If the administrator and user are in different realms, the administrator will remain logged in, and additionally will be logged in as the user in that user's realm.
|
|
|
|
In both instances, the *User Account Management* page of the impersonated user is displayed.
