Slate security administrators can impersonate a user.

While you impersonate a user, you see Slate as they see it: you won’t be able to access anything they aren’t permissioned to see. This can be helpful when troubleshooting permissions.

Impersonate a user

To impersonate a user:

1. From the main navigation, select Database.

2. Under Users & Access, select User Permissions.

3. Select a user, or create a new one.

4. Select Impersonate. A browser dialogue appears.

   

5. Click OK. You are redirected to the Slate database as the selected user.

Session toggle

🏔️ Summit 2024 Feature

• Session Toggle lets you switch between the user you’re impersonating (indicated by a yellow circle around your user icon) and your own account as many times as you’d like.

• Select Session Exit to end your impersonation.

Best practices

While impersonating a user:

• Only impersonate one user at a time.

• Don’t open multiple tabs or windows within the same browser when impersonating.
