As a Power Admin it would be good if you can adopt a user without having to create bogus profile

It would be really useful if a power admin could adopt another user so that when they have an issue, you can go on and see what they can see. You can do this on Conject, it's a really useful function when trying to help someone who is having issues.

    I was also a user of Conject at another MC and I found the ability to 'Adopt' a user very beneficial when troubleshooting an issue they were having. I have always wondered if this would be something that VfP would implement as it would save a great deal of time.

    The ability to assume the role/rights of another user can be a great help in tracking down permission and workflow type issues.

    This functionality exists in other Doc control applications (eg Asite) which simplifies issue resolution. Changes you make when acting as a "proxy" are recorded as such
