Impersonation

 

Typical of demonstration and training environments, your implementation of KC may include the ability to impersonate other users after logging in.  This is particularly useful when showing how screens, documents and action options may differ depending on the workgroup or permissions associated with certain users.  If so, you will see a login box with button in the upper right corner of any screen.  When used, the notification area displays both your ID and the one you are impersonating.

Logging Out

 

To log out from KC, simply close the Web browser by clicking the standard Close button window-close located in the upper right corner of your browser.

Depending on your institution’s implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO), this may remove automatic logins to other Web applications or systems.  Consult your System Administrator to be certain.

The system may “time out” after a period of inactivity which could result in lost work and require logging in again.  Consult your System Administrator for specific duration and consequences.  The KC default is 60 minutes.  Upon a session expiration, document locks will be released.  Each time you click the save button (or navigate to a new page), the timer is reset.

Changing your password is done by clicking the Change Password link on the main menu.  Your institution may have chosen to disable this functionality and use a different means to accomplish this.  If so, you will not see this option, and should instead consult your system administrator for instructions.

 

  To change your password:

1.  Click the Change Password link.

     The Change Password tab appears:

2.  Enter your current password, new password, and confirmation of new password in the corresponding fields as desired.

     Asterisks appear in place of the characters of your entries.

3.  Click the save button.

End of activity.
