On the Account settings page of a user in the administration area, you can perform a number of actions to manage the user’s account. However, you cannot change personal information about this user, e.g. name, email, from this page. This can only be done in the Content area of the user’s account.

  2. サイトアカウント設定を変更する
  3. インスティテューション設定を変更する
  4. Suspend and / or delete this user

8.3.2.1. 代理ログイン

As administrator you have the power to log in as any user that you manage ans masquerade as them. If you are a site administrator, you can log in as any user while institution administrators can only perform this action for any user who is in their user management.

It is a great function for troubleshooting a user account because you see everything as the user would without having to know his password.

警告

This function can easily be misused by an administrator because he can make changes to the user’s portfolio and artefacts as well as participate in groups while logged in as that user. Users should be aware of this function and that an administrator can enter their account.

Sites should have clear policies around the use of this function so that the privacy of users and their portfolios and collaborative work is protected. Therefore, there should also not be many users within an institution who have administrator rights.
