After selecting a user from the user search, then clicking "Log in as" to proxy into their account..  is there a way to get back to your original admin login without getting logged off first?   It seems like if you click your account name in the upper right where is says  " [Admin] you are logged in as User " ..  when i click Admin, it takes me to the login screen and has me logged out.  Is there another way?

Hi John,

Thanks for asking.

Piers McMurdock asked a very similar question back in May this year https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=16404

The short answer the behaviour your are observing is both correct and intentional. It has been done that way for security.
Have a read of the above thread and if you've any questions still please ask them here, I'll be happy to answer them.

Kind regards

Sam
