Impersonate Tab

Top  Previous  Next

Overview

 

The Impersonate tab provides the ability to support scenarios where one user needs to log into InFocus as another.

 

Administrators can generate unique impersonation tokens which can then be used in the place of user credentials at login.

 

Each generated token has a specified expiration.

 

Getting Started

 

To enable, an administer can click the lock box next to the user to be impersonated, and establish impersonation settings for distribution.

 

At login, users with the Impersonation Token will find an option for Token Login exposed by clicking advanced database options from the InFocus login screen.

 

Users will be prompted to provide the token. Once provided the user will re-click advanced database options and click Login.

 

That user will inherit all rights of the impersonated user for the duration of the current session and/or any subsequent sessions logged in prior to expiration .
