Delegate Access

Overview

In the University of Utah Elements system, a delegate is a person that you grant profile editing permissions to. A delegate edits your profile by logging in with their credentials and "impersonating" you. Multiple delegates can be set up for a single profile.

Impersonating Another User

Impersonating Another User

It is possible to impersonate another user and edit their account on their behalf if they have set you up as a delegate. For more information on how they can do that, see the Managing Delegates section above.

If a faculty member has given you delegate access to their University of Utah Elements profile, you can impersonate them by doing the following:

  1. Log in to Elements with your uNID and CIS password.

  2. Click the Impersonate icon in the top toolbar.

  3. In the “Name contains” field, type in the user’s last name and click Set filters.

  4. Click a person’s name in the results section to impersonate them.

  5. A tab will appear at the top of the page to indicate who you are currently impersonating. When you are done, click on the red ‘x’ button to stop impersonating the other user.
