Impersonation Preferences

WebCenter Portal Impersonation lets an administrator assign impersonation rights to a group of users ("impersonators"), such as support representatives or application administrators, so that they can impersonate another WebCenter Portal user and perform operations as that user.

The Impersonation preferences page provides controls for identifying who can impersonate you in WebCenter Portal and whom you can impersonate. More
