Default Instances of the portlet

Administration. Administrators use this portlet to assume the identity of a different user when diagnosing a problem, to verify the functionality or security of a user account, or to perform an activity on behalf of another user.
Using this portlet, an administrator instantly assumes the identity of another user, even if the user has never previously logged into the system. After assuming another user's identity, the administrator will only have the exact permissions of the target user for the duration of the session.
Important:  
Because the portlet does not require the user's password, for security reasons be sure to allow only administrators access to the Impersonate User portlet to avoid abuse of this portlet.
