This feature provides the ability to access the system as a second user, without the need to enter any credentials for that second user.
The first user can see the second user's portal, and can edit information on behalf of them.
This feature will make it easier for staff to log in as clients or applicants and edit information on their behalf.
The option to emulate a user is only available if the second users is a basic user. It is not available if second user is a [[Local User Administrator|local admin]] or [[Global User Administrator|global admin]].
'''To test multiple roles simultaneously, you must use multiple browsers (e.g. System Administrator in Chrome, Applicant in Firefox, etc) '''
* The system will support the most recent browser versions, as well as some versions before the most recent update.
* You may always view the user's browser information in the user's profile, under '''Options – Login Details.''' This never exposes a password, merely the browser used to login for troubleshooting purposes.
