Use this interactive demo to learn how to switch accounts and log in as another user in Salesforce.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to log in as another user in Salesforce by accessing your profile menu and switching accounts. Admins and support teams use this feature to troubleshoot issues or act on behalf of another user without sharing credentials.


Steps

  1. Click your profile in the top right corner of the Salesforce dashboard.
  2. If you have another account, click the username listed at the bottom to switch accounts; otherwise, click Add Username to add a new one.
  3. Log in using the selected another account to complete the user switch.

📌 Why this matters

Salesforce's ability to log in as another user is a critical feature for administrators and support teams who need to replicate user issues, test permissions, or perform tasks on behalf of a colleague. This capability eliminates the need to share passwords, maintaining security while improving operational efficiency. For Salesforce CRM users managing large teams or complex permission structures, seamless account switching directly reduces troubleshooting time and accelerates resolution of user-facing problems.
