Sign in as a client, team member or remote member to see exactly what they see, for example to help with a question or check their access. You can go back to your own dashboard at any time.

Overview

This guide shows who can use Sign in as, how to start it, and how to go back.

Who Can Access

Agency AdminTeam Member

The workspace owner can always do this. Other staff need the matching permission in their role: sign in as a client, as a team member, or as a remote member.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Choose the person

    For a client, open the client and click Sign in as Client; the same option is in the client’s menu on the Clients list. For a team member or remote member, open them under Team Members or Remote Members and click Sign in as user.

Good to Know

  • You can’t sign in as a co-admin or as the workspace owner.
  • It works even when a team member’s status is Pending or on Hold, so you can check their setup before they start.
  • Anything you change while signed in as someone is done as that person, so take care.
