Proxy Login

Site owner (and site administrators if allowed) can use the proxy mechanism to login to any learner's (or other site administrator's) account. The proxy user (site owner / admin) would use his/her own authentication credentials for this purpose and therefore wont use (and need not know the credentials of the account to which he/she would login). To use this feature, use the menu item Account -> Proxy Login.

This menu item would be visible to site owner and if desired can be made visible to all site administrators through the option in the Site Admin -> Site Details -> Security. This feature would not be available to learner role.

The application would prompt the user to confirm that he/she would be logged out of the current session and would then be presented with the login page of the application.

 The URL of the page consists of an additional parameter ?proxy=true (this must be present in order for proxy feature to work, if you reload the signin page from any other way, and this parameter is not there in URL, you wouldn't be able to use proxy... you can notice additional help message below username field when using proxy parameter)

Specify the username in the format adminusername/someotherusername  ( admin user name followed by forward slash followed by any other user name). Specify own password in the password field. You would now get logged in as the other user. Note that this would logout any current active session (if any) of the other user.
