Hi @GauravD02478352 

you need to add following code in your BR:

// Store the current user
    var originalUser = gs.getUserID();

    // Set the session to the system user (or a specific user)
    gs.getSession().impersonate('system'); // Use 'system' for the system user or replace with a specific user ID

    // Perform the updates
    current.short_description = "Updated by Business Rule as System User"; // Example update
    current.update(); // Perform any other updates as needed

    // Revert back to the original user
    gs.getSession().impersonate(originalUser);

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue if yes, mark my answer helpful & correct.

THANK YOU

Hi @GauravD02478352 ,

Please use this code snippet in your Business Rule Script for update.

Steps -

1. Before Updating impersonate as - system user or admin .

2. At the last line of your end impersonation.

 var currentUser = gs.getUserID(); // store currently logged in user to end the impersonation
        var impUser = new GlideImpersonate();
        impUser.impersonate(gs.getProperty("ib.sysAdminUserSysId")); // property holds value of system user sysid
/*
Your Code -- 
*/
 /** end impersonation */
    impUser.impersonate(currentUser);​

Please mark this as solution and helpful.
