How do I impersonate another user

title
Expand

You can impersonate another user if:

  • You are a named delegate for that user

  • The user is a member of a group (e.g. department) of which you are a group manager (research managers and statisticians are jointly known as group managers)

You can impersonate them by clicking on the impersonate icon* at the top of the screen and entering their surname (optionally followed by a comma, space and initial e.g. 'Jones, J').

Can I limit what activities show on my public profile or hide my entire profile from showing publicly?

Expand

Faculty members can determine whether their profile is available for others to view on Elements and the Discovery portal. By default, an Elements faculty profile is public and is searchable via the Discovery portal. A faculty member can limit the visibility of individual activities or their entire profile. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, please see Profile Privacy & Visibility.
