User impersonation

Sign in as an employee to see the portal exactly as they do — useful for support and troubleshooting.

For: HR AdministratorUpdated 24 Oct 2026

When an employee reports a problem ("I can't see the Loan card", "my approver is wrong"), User Impersonation lets you sign in as them and see exactly what they see. Your own session is saved and restored when you finish.

Open eHR Portal Management → Configure General Settings → User Impersonation.

User Impersonation

Sign in as an employee

  1. Confirm it's you

    Re-enter your own account password and select CONTINUE.

  2. Find the employee

    Under Search Options, search by name or login and choose a Status filter (All, Active or Inactive).

  3. Sign in as them

    Select Sign in as user on their row, then confirm in Sign in as this user?

A banner reads You are impersonating name for as long as you're signed in as them.

Stop impersonating

Select Exit Impersonation in the banner. You're returned to your own account.

Anything you do while impersonating — applying for leave, approving a request, editing a profile — is done as that employee. Use impersonation to look, not to act on someone's behalf.

If you see User impersonation is not configured on this server, contact Intelliob support to enable it.
