# Impersonation

### Impersonation

In the applications there is the possibility of impersonation. This means that from within the app and webapp another user can be taken over with a few clicks.&#x20;

First set up the impersonation in the menu item [**Management**](/any2info-academy/no-code-platform/management.md) - [**Users**](/any2info-academy/no-code-platform/management/users.md)**.**

Choose a user and configure the impersonation:

<div align="left"><img src="https://870194474-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M_kE41Rl4pOtwKfvvQq%2Fuploads%2FL65zHmqwEgZKzW3n4zm2%2FImage%20impersonation%201.png?alt=media&amp;token=13462fb0-55e8-4b66-9292-88db968ec1de" alt=""></div>

A specific user, such as a manager, can be linked to other users by means of set rights, which he/she can take over temporarily. This user then gets a function button "Run as user" in the app under "settings".

Pressing the button "Run as a user" displays a list of users (based on the set rights) who can be taken over. From the moment a user is taken over, all actions are performed by the replacement user.

After the execution of relevant tasks it is possible to switch back to the own account.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://academy.any2info.com/any2info-academy/apps/webapps-nativeapps/specifics/impersonation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
