Can a Workflow Log In As a Specific User?

Hi @antony, there’s not workaround to truly log in as a different user via workflow. There are strategies you can use to have one user experience the app as another user would:

  • Create a custom user role system with a data type (e.g. project managers can view team member data)
  • Set up Privacy Rules in the Data tab
  • Pass data between groups and/or pages to load specific content

Depends on what you’re doing, but the user would still be logged in as a separate user.

The only “trick” I’d know of (which I do NOT recommend) is storing the password to a separate, custom text field so that a user can re-log in with someone else’s email and that stored password. There would have to be a super great reason to expose the password like that though. In most cases, that would be an irresponsible handling of user credentials.

Hope that helps.
