MIM / PAM Sign in as Different User

  • Article

 

SharePoint used to have a menu option called “Sign in as Different User” in the top-right corner of every page. It is very useful but form admins sometimes it can be a bit of a pain. So simple solution is to build it right into the Home Page Resources like you see below.

In this configuration we are using SharePoint 2013 so SharePoint 2010 might be a bit different to close the connection .

Once complete click Ok and finish. You will need to run IISRESET to have the cache refresh so your users can see it . Once done if a user click on it they will get redirected to a sign in prompt to enter in new credentials.
