# Impersonate | ||
|
||
Allow administrators to become a different user by adding an impersonate action | ||
to the user list. | ||
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: | ||
|
||
1. Login as administrator to Nextcloud. | ||
2. Open users administration interface. | ||
3. Select the impersonate button on the affected user. | ||
4. 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. | ||
|
||
## Note: | ||
|
||
* 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_. |
