How to Log In as Another HubSpot User

In some situations, you may need to access a teammate’s profile in Hubspot to troubleshoot issues, confirm permissions, or see exactly what they are seeing. Instead of asking for passwords, you can securely log in as another user using built-in tools when you have the right permissions.

This guide explains who can use this feature, how to enable it, and the exact steps to log in as another user while keeping your account secure and compliant.

Understanding the HubSpot Log-In-as-User Feature

The log-in-as-user feature lets specific admins access another user’s HubSpot account view without needing their credentials. This is especially useful for:

• Diagnosing permission-related problems
• Reproducing reported bugs or errors
• Verifying what tools and data a user can access
• Providing hands-on training and support

Every session is recorded so you can maintain transparency and auditability inside your account.

Who Can Log In as Another HubSpot User

Not every user can access this capability. Only users with both of the following can log in as someone else:

• Super admin permissions
• Access to log in as another user enabled in settings

Regular users cannot use this feature. They can only manage their own profile and settings.

How to Enable the Log-In-as-User Option in HubSpot

Before you can access another user’s view, you must ensure the feature is enabled at the account level. Follow these steps as a super admin:

1. Sign in to your HubSpot account with your super admin user.

2. Click the settings icon in the main navigation.

3. In the left sidebar, go to Users & Teams.

4. Find your own user record in the list.

5. Open your user settings and confirm you have super admin permissions.

6. Check that the option to log in as other users is available. In most accounts, this is managed automatically for super admins.

If you are unsure whether your subscription level supports this, review the official documentation at this HubSpot help article.

How to Log In as Another HubSpot User Step by Step

Once you have the right permissions, use the following process to log in as another user inside HubSpot.

Step 1: Open Users & Teams in HubSpot

From your main account:

1. Click the settings icon in the top navigation bar.

2. In the left-hand sidebar menu, select Users & Teams.

This page lists all users who have access to your HubSpot account, including their roles and permissions.

Step 2: Locate the User You Want to Access

On the Users & Teams page:

• Use the search bar to find the user by name or email, or
• Scroll through the list until you see the correct user record.

Make sure you select the right person, especially if your organization has multiple users with similar names.

Step 3: Use the Log In as User Action

Next, initiate the log-in-as-user session:

1. Hover over the user you want to access.

2. Click the Actions dropdown on the right side of their row.

3. Select Log in as user.

HubSpot will display a confirmation prompt before switching views to protect users and maintain transparency.

Step 4: Confirm and Switch to the User’s View

After clicking Log in as user:

• You may see a confirmation message explaining that you are about to access another user’s view.
• Confirm the action to proceed.
• Your interface will reload, and you will now see the portal exactly as that user sees it.

While logged in as the other user, any actions you take will be recorded as activity from your account under this special session.

Step 5: Navigate and Troubleshoot Within HubSpot

Now that you are in the user’s view, you can:

• Open the same tools they use (CRM records, marketing tools, sales tools, service tools).
• Verify what menus, pipelines, and reports are visible.
• Reproduce issues they reported, such as missing permissions or unexpected errors.
• Confirm that configuration changes you made have resolved a specific problem.

Remember that you are still responsible for any changes made during this session, so keep your actions focused on troubleshooting or support.

How to End the Log-In-as-User Session in HubSpot

To return to your own account view:

1. Click your user avatar or profile menu in the top navigation bar.

2. Select the option to exit the impersonation session or log out.

3. Log back into your own user if needed.

Once you end the session, your interface returns to your standard HubSpot view with your personal permissions and settings.

Security, Privacy, and Best Practices in HubSpot

Because logging in as another user is powerful, treat it as an advanced admin tool. Keep these best practices in mind:

• Limit access – Only grant super admin and log-in-as-user capabilities to trusted admins who truly need them.
• Communicate with users – Let team members know when you may need to access their profile for troubleshooting.
• Use it for support only – Avoid personal tasks and focus on diagnosing or resolving specific issues.
• Document what you change – If you adjust settings while in another user’s view, record those changes for future reference.

Because sessions can be audited, this maintains accountability within your HubSpot account.

When to Use the Log-In-as-User Feature in HubSpot

Common use cases include:

• A salesperson cannot see a contact, deal, or pipeline you expect them to see.
• A marketer reports missing access to lists, emails, or assets.
• A support agent cannot open tickets or views needed for their role.
• You are training a new team member and want to double-check that their setup matches your onboarding checklist.

In each case, logging in as the user lets you confirm exactly what HubSpot shows them, without guessing from your own admin view.
