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 > Managers. Click the context menu of the user you wish to impersonate and click Impersonate.

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