When you have an employee(s) who need to assist with data entry for another team member, you may set up an Impersonation List to allow an employee to act on behalf of another. An impersonator may be set up to impersonate more than one user. The employee(s) set up as impersonators will have the same permissions as the user(s) they have been given permission to impersonate.

NOTE:  When you login as an impersonator, every data value change you make on behalf of anyone you are impersonating is tracked in the SecureSheet audit trail as you impersonating that user, with the exact changes you make in each cell on their behalf.
