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_.
