Business Rule condition ignore if trying to impersonate

[nathan34]

I have an onBefore business rule that limits user query results based on which domain a user exists in.   This rule interferes with trying to impersonate back to myself from a non-admin user (causes me to have to logout and log back in as myself).

Is there a condition I can write that will ignore this business rule if trying to impersonate?

Hi Nathan,

Yes, there is an isImpersonating() method available in gs.getSession().

var isImpersonator = gs.getSession().isImpersonating();
gs.info(isImpersonator);

Hi Tomasi,

I wonder if there is a way to get the sys_id of the user before the impersonate, brcause the sys_id i got using the gs.getUserID() is the sys_id of the user after the impersonate user.

Hi Nathan,

Are you saying that you want this business rule not to run when somebody impersonates the user.
