As an Eagle Portal Administrator, you can use the Impersonate User feature to help troubleshoot issues for all users without knowing the users’ passwords. You can impersonate users based on their user names. This feature gives the Eagle Portal Administrator the ability to see the Eagle Portal exactly as the user being impersonated sees it.
