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.
