Slate Security Administrators can impersonate users, viewing Slate exactly as the user does.
During impersonation, you cannot access any areas or data the user is not permitted to see, making this feature useful for troubleshooting permissions.
Impersonate a user
To impersonate a user:
From the main navigation, select Database.
Under Users & Access, select User Permissions.
Select a user account, or create a new one.
Select Impersonate. A browser dialogue appears.
Click OK. You are redirected to the Slate database as the selected user.
Session Toggle & Exit
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 practice
While impersonating user accounts:
Only impersonate one user account at a time.
Don’t open multiple tabs or windows within the same browser when impersonating.
