    If Sites exist and your role has the capability to do a proxy login, the [Site Proxy Login] button is visible.
  3. Click [Site Proxy Login].
    A popup window opens.
  4. Select a site
  5. Click [Submit].
    A new browser window is launched, showing the Site home page as the selected user.

  • Only one browser session can be active at a time, so your current session is devoted to the new user.
    If you refresh your current window, you will find that it now belongs to the user you logged in as.
  • If they are a platform user as well as a site user, you see their home page.
  • If they are a Site user only, you see a login screen.
