I have an application that logs in with Admin permissions but needs to perform the actions as a different user, for all intents and purposes the actions show up as if that user did it...the only difference that I know of is that in the logs instead of being shown as being done by that user it says '<admin user> impersonating <regular user>'...or something along those lines...it's a nice feature. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Coleman, Gavin Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 4:01 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: API Call - impersonate user. ** Hi List - can anyone explain what the impersonate user API call does? I know that it impersonates a user, but is it the equivalent (permissions etc) of logging in as that user? I.e. If an Admin user impersonates a Non-Admin user, does this mean that the impersonation has Non-Admin permissions?
