Impersonating users through script

[JimmieOdelius]

Hi.

I'm setting up tests in the Automated Test Framework and I ran into trouble when I stumbled upon the need to impersonate users via script.

I found somewhere else on the community that I could use

session.setUser("username");

This did not work however and resulted in an error message like "Attempted script access to inaccessible member denied." which my google-fu failed to find anything about.

Has anyone done anything like this before? Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Jimmie,

I've had little luck with impersonations, however I have used gs.getSession().impersonate('xxx') within an ajax script include. Give it a try, hope it helps!

Hi Brandon.

Thank you for your response.

This was the correct solution.

Apparently

gs.getSession().impersonate("usernameORsysid")

takes both sysid and username as input.

Can you provide me with complete script. This seems to give me a null string.

Hello Jimmie

var origUser = gs.getSession().impersonate('sys_id' );
