You can also hide the impersonation buttons by clearing both the check boxes. This does not affect the ability to request services on behalf of other users. End users can still request a service on behalf of other end users in the BMC Digital Workplace end user console.

4. Click Save.

The changes are applied after the end user re-logs in to BMC Digital Workplace.
