Log in As another User
Users may view the OneVizion system as another user by clicking the drop-down arrow next to their username in the upper right corner of the page and selecting Login As...
Login As... in User Drop Down Menu
This will open the Login As... Applet:
Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
User | Use the Ellipsis to select a different user. |
If the user is designated a Superuser, they will be able to log into the OneVizion system as a different user.
If the user is not a superuser, the You Are Not Superuser message will appear. If the user needs to be designated as a superuser, please contact the system administrator.
Log Back in As
As an Administrator, there may be times when an Admin user will need to Login As another user for troubleshooting purposes. Previously the Login As feature required the user to log out entirely and then log back into the platform. Admin users can quickly login into their original account without logging out and manually logging back into the platform.
When an Admin is already logged as another user and has the “R” privilege on the ADMIN_LOGIN_AS Security Group, the system will not display the "Login As" menu item.
The "Login As" user selector grid does not contain the current user. Users are not able to log in as themselves.
Limited Access
A new ability to limit access to the system has been added. If the new system parameter 'LimitedAccess' is enabled (by default it is disabled) and a user does not have 'Read' permission on the new security group 'LIMITED_ACCESS' then they will not able to work in the system. If they were already logged in, they will be logged out forcibly and redirected to the login page with a warning message. This restriction applies to API calls as well – if the credentials making the API call doesn’t have R access to ‘LIMITED_ACCESS” system will not be available for API calls as well. Administrators can't switch to an account with help of "Login As" if the target account can't work in the limited access mode.
All active super users have default 'Read' privilege on the LIMITED_ACCESS security group. Also, any existing Security Role that has ‘Read’ privilege for ‘Default Privs’-> ‘User & Security’ will also have access to the system when Limited Access is enabled.
