Proxy Login as this User

From AgileApps Support Wiki

As an administrator responsible for a number of Users, it is often convenient to diagnose user issues by logging in via proxy. With this login, you gain full access to all actions available to the user. (Each action performed during a Proxy Login is audited and logged.)

Users that have the Proxy Login Access permission can Login as another user to troubleshoot problems that may arise in a user's account 

When a Proxy Login is initiated, a dialog box opens to remind the user that a record of these actions will be created. The user can opt to continue or cancel the action.
