In ATF can you specify a member of a certain group to impersonate?

Hi,

In order to test a Change workflow I would like to have a step to impersonate a member of a certain group that can approve the change request. With the OOTB test step Impersonate you can only select a specific individual user. I would like to make it generic so that any member of a group can be selected. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks,

Deb

If you're in New York or later, you might be better off using the "Create a User" step. You can create a temporary user, assign the temp user to the right group and roles, and then impersonate them all in one step. The advantages of this are that it eliminates the dependency on existing information and rolls back (removes the user) when the test is done.
