Opening tabs as another user

If you configured a tab to run a shell as a different user, you will be asked for a username and password before opening a tab. To use a domain account, enter your username in the form domain\username or username@domain.

Net Only: this value can be used to create a process that uses a different set of credentials locally than it does remotely. This is useful in inter-domain scenarios where there is no trust relationship. The system does not validate the specified credentials. Therefore, the process can start, but it may not have access to network resources.

Running a shell as a different user has some limitations:

• User's HOME env. variable must be explicitly set
• The impersonated user must have read access rights to the settings file and the folder containing this file.
