Proxy Login
Overview
All active users (besides the superuser or the user the admin is currently logged in as) can be proxy logged in to by Host Company FullAccess users with Allow Proxy Login permission.
Proxy login is useful in debugging or verifying that user access changes have been implemented. When proxy logged in as another user, the admin will see the application as the user he/she is proxy logged into sees the application—all of that user’s access rights are applied. Within the system, any action the admin takes while proxy logged in as another user will be attributed to the user he/she is proxy logged in as.
Administration
Proxy Login as Another User
To proxy login as another user:
- Log in to Oracle CPQ as a FullAccess user with permission to create and modify users.
- Navigate to the Admin Home page.
- Click Internal Users in the Users section. The Users page opens.
- Click the Proxy Login icon (
) next to the user you want to proxy login as.
- The Home Page appears. You will see the Home Page and anywhere else you navigate to within the application as the user you are proxy logged in as would see it.
When proxy logged in to another user, a Proxy Logout button appears next to the Logout button in the top navigation panel. Clicking Proxy Logout will end the proxy session and return the admin to the Users page. Clicking Logout while proxy logged in to another user will completely log out of CPQ.
If, when proxy logged in as another user, an admin attempts to proxy log in as another user on the Users page, the admin will be proxy logged out of the first user and proxy logged in to the second user. You cannot be proxy logged in on multiple levels.
When proxy logged in to another user, a Proxy Profile button will take the place of the My Profile button in the in the top navigation panel. Clicking Proxy Profile will open the user profile of the user you are logged in as.
