Actions
In addition, the following actions are available to users with associated Administrative Permissions:
Proxy Login as this User
As an administrator responsible for a number of Users, it is often convenient to diagnose user issues by logging in via proxy. With this login, you gain full access to all actions available to the user. (Each action performed during a Proxy Login is audited and logged.)
Users that have the Proxy Login Access permission can Login as another user to troubleshoot problems that may arise in a user's account
When a Proxy Login is initiated, a dialog box opens to remind the user that a record of these actions will be created. The user can opt to continue or cancel the action.
- To execute a proxy login
- Click > Administration > Access Management > Users
- Select a user
If your role has the capability to do a proxy login, the [Proxy Login] button is visible. - Click the [Proxy Login] button.
A confirmation dialog appears. - Click [OK]
- If this is a first-time login, you may need to answer a Security Question
- The name of the user will appear on the screen, in place of your username
- Perform any necessary troubleshooting activities
Note: You can only login-by-proxy as a member of your team or one of its subteams, as specified by the Permissions Hierarchy restrictions.
- To close a proxy login session
- Click the down arrow next to your name at the top of the window.
- A drop down appears with additional options.
- Learn more: Using the Agent Portal#User Options
- Click the Switch Back link that appears above the Logout option.
- Confirm that your login name appears on the screen, which indicates that you have successfully closed the Proxy Login session.
Manage Proxy Login Permissions
Grant Users the ability to Login as selected Users or a group of users in a Team.
Users that have the Proxy Login Configuration permission can enable Proxy Login for users
To enable the Proxy Login rights:
- Click > Administration > Access Management > Users
- Select the user of interest
- Click the [Proxy Login Permissions] button
- By default, no Users or Teams are displayed
- The Default Proxy Login settings grant this user Proxy Login rights to All Users and Teams
- If Users or Teams are selected, then this user has Proxy Login rights to the selected Users/Teams, only
- Click the [Edit] button to modify the Default Proxy Login settings
- Choose the desired Users or Teams
- Click [Save]
- Considerations
-
- The User/Team relationship is additive, meaning that:
- If a Team is selected, all Users on that team are available for Proxy Login by the selected user
- If individual Users are selected, only those individual Users are available for Proxy Login by the selected user
- If a Team is selected, and individual Users in that team are also selected, then the addition of those users makes no difference (because the Users are already members of the selected Team)
- However, if those Users move to a new Team in the future, then this permission will apply to those Users in their new Team
