If you are an administrator is it possible to log in and out as a different Cognos Analytics user..?

Hi,

You would need to know their credentials in order to do that. You do have some access to their experience - for example you can see what is in their My Content area as the System Administrator.

Cheers!

It depends, and why?

If you are using single sign-on (SSO), logging out just logs you back in as you.  So, no, you can't log in as another user.
If you are not using SSO, you should be able to enter a user name and password on the login page.

More importantly:  What are you trying to accomplish?
