Use cases

  1. You have special user users to make review and changes in JIRA tasks (Moderatormoderator) and you do not want to share user 's passwordpasswords. You can use FUS to switch to this user and make changes on behalf of him.

  2. Your teammate cannot see some pages, but permissions look like everything should work fine. You can log in as a teammate's user to investigate an issue.
