Switch User

The Switch User built-in script allows administrator users to temporarily assume the identity of another user. Switch User has a variety of uses, such as:

  • Reproducing and troubleshooting problems specific to a user to diagnose permissions issues.
  • Updating an issue on behalf of another user if they are unavailable.
Tip: To switch back to your original user, click the Return to session as link in the Switch User banner.
Tip: You can disable/enable this feature in ScriptRunner Settings. See our settings documentation for more information.
