# Using Instant Login for a Managed User's Account

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "has_image , Console , User Management , Admin , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction"}} />

If you're an admin of Business Plus or above accounts, you have the ability to log in as one of your managed users from the admin console.

**To log in as one of your managed users:**

1. Log into Box, and in the left pane click **Admin Console**.
2. Click **Users & Groups**.
3. Click the user's name, then select **Log in to this account**.

Instant Login is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal as an admin, enabling you to perform  actions such as:

* Restoring data that appears in a managed user's trash.
* Changing the owner of one of your managed user's folders.
* Checking the settings of a user -- for example, if they are not receiving email notifications.

<Note>
  **Notes:**

  * All actions you make while logged in as a managed user are attributed to you in administrative reports.
  * For security purposes, if a managed user is collaborating on content owned by an external user, an admin cannot use Instant Login or Content Manager to access this content.
  * Co-admins cannot use Instant Login to log into the account of the primary admin or the accounts of other co-admins.
