Impersonating

Impersonating allows a manager to assume the identity of another user or manager and carry out actions on their behalf. This feature is primarily aimed at managers, who want to provide support for other users. Only administrators with the “Can impersonate” permission have the ability to impersonate other users.

Impersonate another Prisma Manager

Impersonating another Prisma Manager always requires a support token. This can be be avoided, when the manager has the permission to bypass support tokens. You can impersonate another Prisma Manager by navigating to Administration > Users. Click the context menu of the user you wish to impersonate and click Impersonate.

impersonateAdmin — *Impersonate Prisma Managers*

While impersonating, a warning banner will be displayed at the top of the screen. You can dismiss this warning by clicking on the Cross.

Impersonate another Prisma User

Impersonating another Prisma User requires a support token, if the user is part of another company. This can be be avoided, when the manager has the permission to bypass support tokens.

From there navigate to User configuration at the bottom of the page and click Imported Zabbix users.
Click the impersonate button on the card of the user you wish to impersonate.

A notification will confirm that you are currently impersonating another user.
