Created page with "If you need to switch account, often to debug something, there are two useful endpoints on the API for doing just that. The functionality is only available to admin users and..."

New page

If you need to switch account, often to debug something, there are two useful endpoints on the API for doing just that. The functionality is only available to admin users and will also refuse any elevation attempts, such as attempting to impersonate a [[Permissions|developer account]] from a [[Permissions|regular admin one]].
