How can a user initiate deep tracing?

Initiating deep tracing is typically performed through the Deep Tracing option in the admin menu. This method allows administrators to enable deep tracing for a specific user or process, facilitating a detailed analysis of network activity and user behavior. By accessing this option directly within the admin interface, users can collect comprehensive logs and troubleshoot issues effectively, making it a vital tool for assessing performance and security.

The other choices do not provide the same level of effectiveness or direct access as the admin menu option. For instance, a quick access toolbar is usually meant for shortcuts to frequently used tools or features but does not specifically cater to deep tracing functions. User performance reports provide valuable insights into user activity but do not allow for the initiation of tracing processes. Contacting support may provide assistance, but it is not a proactive method for a user to initiate deep tracing on their own. Thus, using the Deep Tracing option in the admin menu is the most efficient and direct approach for this task.
