Missing "Sign in as Different User" option in sharepoint 2013

  • Artikel

If you are using this menu option in previous versions of sharepoint, there is no link for "Sign in as Different User" anymore...

But there is 2 workarounds for having the same functionality;

1. Change the siteurl with yours and it will ask you for the new username and password

https://siteurl/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

2. Open internet explorer by  using "run as different user" option  (Shift+ right click) by entering the username and password that you like

 

Keep in mind first option may not work in some browsers and ie10

    After much gnashing of teeth I discovered that the switch user URL is not complete.   the URL below will work with almost all browsers regardless of version.  Replace SiteURL in both placed below with the your sites home page URL. https://SiteURL/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true&Source=https://siteURL/Pages/Default.aspx
