Sign in as different user in SharePoint 2013

I use SharePoint 2013 and I need to change my current user in my SharePoint site.

How can I change my current user?

How can I add sub menu (sign in as different user) to my menu ?

Solution

  • There are several solutions to your problem as Microsoft has removed the Sign in as different user link.

    1. Start your browser as a different user
    2. Use the _layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true page
    3. Edit the Welcome.aspx to include the link again (Sign in as Different User and SharePoint 2013)
    4. Use JavaScript as a Bookmarklet (SharePoint 2013 – Sign in as Another User)

    Official MSDN article about this problem: "Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013. And remember: It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
