The Impersonate User capability allows someone with proper credentials to impersonate another user to carry out EnterWorks tasks with the impersonated user's security credentials. The actions of the impersonator are logged and auditable.

Users are securable objects, so someone impersonating a user must have read access for that user. Also, for security reasons, users who belong to the system administration group are prevented from being able to impersonate the EnterWorks system user.

To configure user impersonation:

  1. Log into the Classic UI.
  2. Open the Users tab by opening the Feature bar, opening Users and Groups, then selecting Users.
  3. Select the user who will be able to impersonate, open the Action dropdown, and select Impersonate Config.
  4. An Impersonate Config window will appear. Check the Impersonate Enabled checkbox.
    After the Impersonate Enabled checkbox is checked, the Available Users and Selected Users can be Impersonated lists will appear.

    If the impersonator belongs to the System Administration group, the Impersonate Config window will not include the Available Users and Selected Users can be Impersonated lists because system administrators can already impersonate any user.

  5. You can use the Filter Available Users by Group dropdown to display members from the selected group. Select one or more users and use the arrow keys to move them between the two lists. When you save the configuration, the impersonator will not be able to impersonate users in the Available Users list and they will be able to impersonate users in the Selected Users can be Impersonated list.
  6. Select OK to save your changes and exit.
