Are you looking to impersonate a user? Impersonating a user is simple. Once a manager user's 'Impersonate Level' is set to 'Read Only' or 'Allow Changes', an impersonation link will appear on both the Student and Faculty/Staff accounts. The Impersonate link will show above the student or faculty name. Just right-click and open in a new private (or incognito) window, so you don't get logged out of the manager portal:

There are two impersonate links:

  • Impersonate MyCE - Allows you to impersonate the user in the MyCE portal. This is the most common option. Use this one if you are not sure which one to use.
  • Impersonate LMS Dashboard - Allows you to impersonate the user in the LMS Dashboard view. This is helpful if you are embedding CoursEval within your LMS (Learning Management System).



Impersonating Users...What else can I do with this?

Need to quickly hop into someone’s portal to trouble-shoot a reporting issue?  No problem—Just go to the Survey Access Report and filter on that person, and you will see the Impersonate icon in the top right and bottom left corners of the page, simply click on the icon.


Is anyone keeping track of who’s impersonating whom?
Absolutely!  We’ve built in a separate log located under the Cogs so you can easily keep track of who is logging in on another user’s behalf.
