"View as" Feature⚓︎

The "View as" functionality allows administrators to impersonate other users and view the Power BI Portal with their respective permissions, facilitating troubleshooting and access validation.

Main Features⚓︎

Security and Control⚓︎

  • Temporary access: The impersonation session is automatically terminated when the defined time expires, returning to the original user
  • Manual termination: Ability to end impersonation at any time
  • Action blocking: During impersonation, all actions and reports are blocked to prevent accidental changes
  • Complete auditing: All impersonation start and end events are logged to ensure traceability and compliance

How it Works⚓︎

In the PowerBI Portal, select the user you want to impersonate and click the "eye" icon.
