Impersonate a User

The Impersonate User capability allows a user with proper credentials to impersonate another role to carry out EnterWorks tasks using the roles’ security credentials. The actions of the impersonator are logged and auditable. For more information on the Impersonate User capability, see EnterWorks 10 Basics. For information on using the Impersonate User capability, see the EnterWorks 10 User Guide.

Note that the impersonator must have read access for the users they impersonate. Also, for security reasons, users who belong to an Administrator group are prevented from being able to impersonate a System Administrator.
