Impersonate 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.

Example Use Case: The security database could have multiple roles, one of which is a Manufacturer role whose members can load and view data in EnterWorks. A user with the proper level of security may impersonate a Manufacturer, in which case they would only have the permissions of a Manufacturer and any action they take would be logged as having been performed by a member of the Manufacturer group.

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.
