Automatic login to control panels

Automatic login makes it possible for you to log in to a site, or a user control panel without having to enter a username or password. This is useful when you want to check or configure a user's settings.

- When you log in automatically to the user control panel, certain features, such as change password, and some service options are not available. To access these features, you need log in to the user control panel with the user's account. To do this start a browser, go to the user control panel URL, and log in with the user's username and password.

# How automatic login works

When you log in to another control panel automatically, the new control panel is displayed in your browser window. However, you are not logged out of the previous control panel, and you maintain your initial login identity. You are not logging in as, or impersonating, another user.

Your login information appears in the upper left of the new control panel. Your initial login is shown under logged in as; the new control panel login is shown under working as. Any actions you perform while auto-logged in show your initial username in the Action Log page of the initial control panel.

When you are automatically logged in to a control panel, you can return to the previous control panel by clicking l og out in the upper left.
