Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Previously, it was not possible for an Administrator to view and verify the permissions of a standard user without logging onto the portal as the user. Changes to the Administration console now permit an Administrator to "Impersonate" any user and verify their settings as they would experience them. This feature is described in detail in the Administration and Configuration Guide.

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.
