How to Login as Customer

To login as any existing customer, please, go to Customers → Manage Customers and select the one from the grid. Then, hit the Login as Customer button in the account to proceed to the user's dashboard on the frontend.

On the grid you can all login attempts with the detailed information about them. If you click any of the records in the log, you can see all information related to this particular login.

Using the Delete mass action or the corresponding button in the record overview you can clear the log.

Please, do not set the Delete Records Older Than value to 0. This will disable the clearance process.
