"Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013


Problem Description:
In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, you notice that the Sign in as Different User menu option is missing.

It’s really a shocked that this option has been completely removed from SharePoint Server 2013 but after debugging, I am able to find out workaround on this issue and I am pretty much sure that this will helps you to overcome this problem.

Workaround:

1.      Access the SharePoint site by using the following URL:
http://<site url>/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

2.      Manually add the Sign in as Different User menu option to the SharePoint site. To do this, follow these steps:

·         Locate and then open the following file in a text editor: 
               C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
               Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx 

·         Add the following element before the existing "ID_RequestAccess" element:
                                                                                                   
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"
 Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"
 MenuGroupId="100"
 Sequence="100"
 UseShortId="true"
/>

Save the file.
