Description Anurag 2012-03-30 12:44:12 UTC

This is a requirement for scenarios like below:

The Dashboard may be configured differently and personalized by a user. A support representative will require a way to see the user's current customization (like Dashboard , pages etc) in order to help with trouble shooting.
The support representative who will be having an admin role, should get to see the customization without logging as the non-admin user.
