Impersonation in a scripted REST API

[Mike50]

Hello Community,

I came across an issue when developing the scripted REST API (global scope).

Dedicated User account is used for the integration purposes, however, I need to be able to impersonate other Users via script, so that specific actions are triggered by those Users.

This works perfectly if integration User is granted the 'admin' Role. However, it does not work (impersonation is not successful) when 'impersonator' Role is used instead.

Can you please advise if it is possible to impersonate other User via scripted REST API without granting the 'Admin' Role to the integration User? How to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

what are those specific actions?

@Ankur Bawiskar,

any actions, this should not matter. I have already found an answer to my question and I will post it.

I found another thread that contains answer to my question.

Scripted REST API can trigger Script Action via Event.

As Script Action is executed by the system, impersonation is possible.
