View a history of impersonations

Platform managers (with the impersonate history security task enabled) can view a history of:

  • which users have impersonated other users,

  • who they have impersonated,

  • and when they impersonated the other users.

To view this list, navigate to Core, select Security, then select Impersonation history.

Filter the history by time and search by name. Then use it to review impersonation activity for security or managerial purposes.

For example, identify users who may need their roles and tasks adjusted (to grant them access to features), investigate whether an important action could have been completed by an impersonator, and more.

Tip: For information about how to impersonate someone and the limits of impersonation, see Impersonate user.

Note: Data regarding which platform managers impersonated another user, who they impersonated, and when, is stored for two years. After two years, the impersonation data history is purged. This data is removed when it is no longer relevant, in accordance with our data retention and security policies.
