Impersonate a user to complete certain record actions.

Note: If you use Widgets and do not have a customer portal, you will not use this tool.
  • With the Impersonate Portal User tool, you can:
    • Log in to the Portal as another user.
    • Assist other Portal users to troubleshoot issues, provide training, complete specific actions, and more on a church member's behalf (for example, cancel recurring online gifts).
  • This tool is available on multiple pages, including:
    • Contacts: From the data grid, an open record, or a selection of records.
    • Participants: From an open record or selection of records.
    • Donors: From an open record or selection of records.
  • A SPoC can grant access to this tool.
  • While there is a Can Impersonate field on User records, that field is used to grant access to the Impersonate Platform User tool and doesn't affect the Impersonate Portal User tool.
