Recommendations for impersonating a user

Before impersonating a user:

  • The customer or consumer users should reach out for help regarding their account specifically in placing an order, requesting, accepting, or declining a quote. Agreement between the user and the CSR impersonating them must be established before the CSR starts impersonation.
  • The CSR must access and log in to the site of the user they are impersonating. Site redirection does not work on user impersonation.
  • Ensure that the released React widgets are the ones used in your site. Impersonation may not work if the Marionette widget is still used in your site.

While impersonating a user:

  • The CSR can do these actions while impersonating:
    • Adding items to the cart
    • Comparing items
    • Browsing items
    • Selecting from the multi-customer drop-down field
    • Checkout from the cart
    • Requesting and accepting or declining quotes
    Note: Other functionality or feature could lead to unexpected behavior when done while impersonating.
  • These actions are not recommended when impersonating as these may lead the CSR to lose the impersonation:
    • Manually editing the URL or removing parts on the URL
    • Using the back and forward buttons of the browser
    • Opening a new tab from the tab where you are impersonating
