AgFiniti Sharing: Remote Support - Impersonate Account
The AgFiniti sharing option "Remote Support – Impersonate Account" is a relationship that allows you to provide support to the requested account. This support is done by impersonating their account to perform actions on their behalf such as applying licenses or managing data.
For more information on how to setup sharing relationships, you can find more information here Sharing Relationships in AgFiniti

When the requested account has accepted the Impersonate Account, you can impersonate the account as needed. Here is how the process works:
  1. Go to the Main Menu, select Remote Support > Impersonate Account
  2. Select the account you wish to impersonate
  3. Select View

  1. Proceed to perform needed action within the impersonated account
    1. You will be carrying out processes as the impersonated user, so anything that is available to them will be available to you
    2. Some examples are: viewing maps, downloading needed data files, managing data, etc.
  2. Once complete, click on the User Name and select Log out as (impersonated account)
    1. If you close out of the window while impersonating an account, it will remain logged in until you log out

Helpful Tips:
  • Always make sure to check the user name in the upper right if you impersonate accounts
    • If you forget to logout, you will remain impersonating the account
  • The amount of control you have over the account will depend on the account
