User impersonation

The User impersonation allows for user to be able to impersonate (use the same privileges) as another user. This will not happen immediately when the row is added, but used in some other contexts such as workflow elevation or REST API.

How to use

In order to create (or edit) User impersonation, in the System app, click on main menu and select User impersonation. In the page that opens click the Add button or select and existing one and click the Edit button.

  1. Allow user (from) - The user that is allowed to impersonate.
