Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do audit logs register the changes made by the Agency Admin when logged in as the user?

In this first phase of this release, we will capture the account user’s details (not agency admin’s) as a change log on the Audit Log page. The next phase of this release when it is developed will capture the agency admin & the account user’s details on Audit Logs.
Q: I can’t see “Login As.” Why?
The Enable Login As permission might be off for your user. Ask an agency owner/admin to enable it under User Management permissions. When disabled, the option is hidden.
See this part of the video above for more details.
