Allow administrators to become a different user by adding an impersonate action to the user list. This is especially useful for debugging issues reported by users.
To impersonate a user an administrator has to simply follow the following four steps:
- Login as administrator to Nextcloud.
- Open users administration interface.
- Select the impersonate button on the affected user.
- Confirm the impersonation.
The administrator is then logged-in as the user, to switch back to the regular user account they simply have to press the logout button.
- This app is not compatible with instances that have encryption enabled.
- While impersonate actions are logged, note that actions performed impersonated will be logged as the impersonated user.
- Impersonating a user is only possible after their first login.
