How to open IE as different user using selenium webdriver?

Well, if Selenium (test/script) opens IE under the current user, then the
logical method would be to script a method to do it for desired user, e.g.:

- Use Run As feature (in command line) to run test/script under specific
account (although I think that was for elevating admin access instead)
- Use script solution to invoke remote desktop login (or logout of
current local desktop then log back in) for desired user then execute
Selenium test/script
- Use tool like PSExec.exe to remotely execute the Selenium test/script
under specified user and/or (desktop) session, assuming the session is
active and unlocked (whether it be local desktop or a remote desktop
session).
- Not sure if IEDriver has any options to specify the user to run as

Hi,
ItÂŽs now two years since you posted this question. May I ask if you have
solved the issue in some way?

I have the same issue in my test. I need to login as different user using
the selenium. Actually I want to do it for chrome as well.

Did you solve the issue in some way?
