Impersonate a User
When you impersonate a user, you will only have access to the content that the specific user has access to.
⚠️ WARNING: Be careful when impersonating users. Any changes you make while impersonating a user will affect their actual account.
Avoid making edits to user accounts, purchasing subscriptions, or changing settings unless you intend these changes to be permanent for that user.

Option 1: From the People Page List
Navigate to People
Find the user you want to impersonate
Click the ellipsis (...) across the user's name
Select "Impersonate" from the dropdown menu

Navigate to People
Find and click the user's name to view their profile
Click More Actions
