By installing the impersonate app of your Nextcloud you enable administrators to impersonate other users on the Nextcloud server. 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.
  • You can limit which users/groups can use impersonation in Administration settings > Additional settings.
