Masquerading as a Student/Teacher

Acting as a user allows admins to log in as the user without a password. You can take any action as though you are the user. From other users' points of views, it will be as if this user performed them. However, the audit logs will show that you performed the tasks while acting as that user.

Open Account

In Global Navigation, click the Admin link [1], then click the name of the account [2]. For your purposes, this will be Launch or Springfield Public Schools.

Open People

In Account Navigation, click the People link.

Find User

Use the filter and search options to find the user in the account.

Open User Profile

In the search results, click the user's name.

Act as User

Click the Act as User link.

Proceed as User

The Act as User page confirms the user's information. If the user has multiple login credentials, all login IDs are displayed for additional user verification. Click the Proceed button.

View Canvas as User

While you are acting like the user you will see what the user sees, but the audit reports will show that you performed those tasks and not the actual user. You will know that you are acting as a user by the information box at the bottom of the screen that says You are currently acting as [User].

Stop Acting as User

When you are finished acting as the user, click the Stop Acting as User button.
