How do I disable impersonating a user?

This feature can only be disabled by either an Implementation or Support Consultant:

  • Currently in implementation - send an email to your Implementation Consultant requesting that they remove impersonation mode for company admins.

  • Actively using ELMO - please raise a support ticket requesting to remove impersonation mode for company admins.
