Hide Sign In as Different user from Share point Site

Question

Hi all,

On top navigation bar there is a dropdown displaying "User Name" as a text. This dropdown has three options, which are:

1. My Settings
2. Request Access
3. Sign in as Different User
4. Sign Out

I would like to remove only one option "Sign in as Different User" from the dropdown for users expcet admin Is this possible? How?

Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey,

<style>
.ms-MenuUIULLink[text='Sign in as Different User']
{    display:none;
}

</style>

place this in your master page.

By coding you check whether the user is Site Collection Admin and just bind new CSS class in which you will remove that attribute display:none .

Done :)
