Impersonate as another user to check views and dashboards
Allow an admin to impersonate himself as another user, so he/she can see & verify views/dashboards, as the other user will see them. This helps to develop views or dashboards as well as handling support requests.

Daniel RoettgermannMissing for years now!
please add also the function to edit the ownership for all "modules" of CMK (view, dashboard, reports, customgraphs - not that we have to make another vote for each seperate "module" which was not "considered" in the first place)
This will also help to move for example dashboard from one user who is leaving the company, to another one -

Lars SörensenWe had opened this feature request in 2018 and now tribe29 moved it here. We were probably just too far ahead of the times once again. Hope we don't have to wait another 4 years for it 😂.

AndyThere should be a setting in the permissions that allows administrators to view all views/dashboards/BI etc.
Now end-users send a link with a view that is "not working" and the first thing me, as and admin sees is "view does not exists"... -

Niklas Pulina AdminHello,
Thank you for your idea. After thorough internal discussion, we’ve come to the conclusion that this idea is also in line with our long-term goals. We will therefore consider implementing it in a future version of our software.
Given the scope of this idea and/or our capabilities, we ask for your understanding that we will not be able to deliver this in the immediate upcoming releases.
As soon as we can commit to developing this feature for a future release, we will change its status to ‘planned’.
At Checkmk we work on ideas based on business needs, customer demand, and resource availability. For strategic reasons, we reserve the right to re-evaluate the priority and/or scope of this feature as new information becomes available. We therefore ask for your understanding that we do not guarantee its implementation.
Warm regards,
Your Checkmk team -

Marcel Arentz AdminHi,
as soon as we put it on the roadmap, we will update this idea to "planned". This way, you immediately see that it made it to the roadmap and there is a concrete implementation plan. As long as the status here is not changed, we did not add it to a roadmap.
Warm regards,
Your Checkmk team -

defdefredHello Guys, the impersonate as another user is already provided by the incognito tab of your browser.
It allows you to log in with multiple users.
