Have you ever faced this situation in Salesforce?
You Login As a User, perform your testing, click Logout… and suddenly you’re logged out of Salesforce completely.
Instead of returning to your Admin session, Salesforce redirects you straight to the login page.
If this sounds familiar, don’t worry – this behavior is completely expected and is controlled by a single session setting in Salesforce.
The Setting Behind the Issue
This behavior is driven by a session configuration in Salesforce.
Navigate to:
Setup → Session Settings
Look for the option:
Force relogin after Login-As-User
When this setting is enabled, Salesforce forces a full logout once you exit a Login As User session, instead of returning you to your original Admin login.
How to Fix It
- Go to Setup → Session Settings
- Uncheck the option “Force relogin after Login-As-User”
- Click Save
What Happens After This?
Once the setting is disabled:
- Logging out from a Login As User session returns you to your Admin session
- You remain logged in to Salesforce
- There’s no need to log in again
Why This Is Useful for Salesforce Admins
ThiThis small configuration tweak delivers a major productivity boost, especially for Admins who:
- Frequently troubleshoot user issues
- Test permissions and access levels
- Validate profiles and permission set behavior
- Perform repeated testing across multiple users
A simple setting that saves valuable time every single day.
Conclusion
Salesforce’s Force relogin after Login-As-User setting is designed for security, but it can disrupt daily admin workflows if left enabled. By adjusting this session setting, you can seamlessly switch back to your Admin session after testing without repeated logins. This quick optimization improves efficiency, streamlines troubleshooting, and makes everyday Salesforce administration smoother.
