We have relocated the logout option to the bottom of the left side menu in our Angular application and hidden the right sidebar. After making these changes, we are no longer able to revert to the original user after impersonation.

    • In ABP Angular applications, the ability to revert to the original user after impersonation is provided by the "Back to my account" action, which is typically available in the user menu or toolbar. If you have customized the UI by moving the logout option and hiding the right sidebar, you may have inadvertently removed or hidden the "Back to my account" button.

    • To restore this functionality, ensure that the impersonation UI component (usually a button or menu item for "Back to my account") is still present and visible in your custom layout. This button is distinct from the logout button and must be explicitly included in your menu or toolbar.

    • You can refer to the official documentation for impersonation in ABP and see how the "Back to my account" action is implemented:

    • If you are using a custom menu, ensure you add a menu item that calls the abp.account.impersonation.backToImpersonator() method or navigates to the appropriate endpoint to revert impersonation. Hiding the right sidebar or moving logout does not automatically move this action; it must be handled in your custom UI.

    • Review your custom menu code and compare it with the default ABP Angular template to ensure the "Back to my account" option is available to users during impersonation.

    Hello, and thank you for providing additional details about your issue. I recommend accessing the source code by running the following command:

    abp add-package @volo/abp.commercial.ng.ui --with-source-code
    

    This will allow you to review the BackToImpersonatorNavItemComponent and ImpersonationService, which contain the relevant functionality logic.

    You can let us know if you need any further assistance.
