Allow Super Admins to "Impersonate" other users (or log-in as them)
Haven't seen this setting - if it exists, feel free to jump in!
As a super admin - I would like the ability to log-in as or impersonate other users. This would allow me to diagnose issues and ensure settings are correct more easily.
For example - changing the bcc email address for one user - I could log into the others accounts and change that for all rather than 1) having all their passwords 2) going over to their computers to change it for them or 3) relying on them to change it themselves.
Our CMS has this feature and our CRM (Sugar CRM) has this feature and it is very useful.
@hannahflat currently there aren't any plans to make it available on the Pro tier level but this is something we will continue to review and will update if that changes. If you want to send me an email directly to asykes@hubspot.com with the use case for your portal - I can also make a detailed note for the team 🙂
Following on from this 'Log in as User' feature that the product team has built we are looking to hear your feedback on other product features that could help make things easier from an admin perspective when managing and troubleshooting your portals.
I started a thread over here and would love any feedback/suggestions:
I'm Flora Wang and I'm a Product Manager at HubSpot.
Thank you to everyone for commenting on this idea- we hear you that this is important functionality to have in HubSpot. We are currently looking into if the idea and understanding the problems in the space. I would love to chat with any admin who has thoughts on impersonation in the next week or two. Shoot me an email atflora@hubspot.comand we'll take it from there.
Any future news regarding this feature will be on this thread and I will update here.
Although, the main reason we needed it was to bulk update profile pictures for our client's CSC Chat users. It seems that information (first name, last name, profile picture) is protected and only accessible to individuals. I can understand why that's in place, but we'd like to be able to edit our user's profile pictures to make a company-wide logo change, and the process of updating everyone's picture, more consistent and efficient.
@heyemmibee Yes, we would LOVE to be able to upload profile pictures. That is a great point for something that is missing. Also the ability to change their name. We have had some people with name changes keep forgetting and it can be very confusing for reporting! We should be able to control these things as an Admin.

+1 on the fact that this should be available on Pro plans.
I totally get the need for Enterprise-only features, but settings and permissions like this should be table stakes. I operate a one-employee company and have VAs help me with admin work, and it's not a great experience to need to log in and out with their credentials to update settings like an email signature. Would be delightful if you considered bringing this to Pro - I always recommend Hubspot to all clients and partners but my use case/budget isn't a fit for Enterprise so it's unfortunate to hit these types of snags.
