View As

View As lets an admin or customer-service rep operate the portal as a specific user, so they can see exactly what that person sees and resolve issues directly. Every action during the session is audit-logged with the operator's real identity attached.

Who can use it

RoleView As
AdminYes — across the platform.
Customer ServiceYes.
Everyone elseNo.

How a session works

  1. Start a session by selecting the user you need to help.
  2. A persistent banner makes it obvious you're impersonating; the View As tab is hidden during the session so sessions can't nest.
  3. Act as that user to reproduce or resolve their issue.
  4. Exit from the banner to return to your own account.

Why it's safe

  • Every create/update/delete during the session carries who you really are alongside the impersonated user, so the audit trail is never ambiguous.
  • The banner and disabled re-entry prevent accidental or nested impersonation.

:::note Use it for support, not convenience View As exists to help a specific user with a specific problem. Because it's fully audited, treat it like any privileged action. :::
