> *Problem Statement:*
> Currently Knox has the ability for specific users (say for e.g. {{sp_user}})
> to impersonate other users (say for e.g.{{ot_user}}). This is driven by
> configs defined in a topology. Currently these configs are needed for each
> user that impersonates other users (i.e. {{sp_user}}), this can get out of
> hand quickly and can be difficult to maintain.
> To solve this problem the proposed solution uses a group level impersonation
> configuration. This configuration will be based on the virtual groups feature
> that is already available in Knox. With this new configuration we can have
> specific users who belong to a virtual group/s (based on conditions such as
> {{(match groups 'analyst|scientist') }}) impersonate other users. This will
> significantly cut down on the config properties and keep them readable and
> maintainable.
