How to check user is impersonated using script?

[rahulyamgar]

Hello friends, 

I was trying to impersonate with certain user using the Glide impersonation APIs using below script. However, I was not able to check in background script if current session is impersonation or not.

 Below returned FALSE in every gs.info statement, whereas if same script is executed by externally impersonating i.e. through UI, it returned TRUE always. Any thoughts?

gs.info('FROM BACKGROUND SCRIPT1'+GlideImpersonate().isImpersonating());

gs.info('******************************************************************************');
//gs.print ("The current user name is: " + user);
var currentUser = gs.getUserID();
var impUser = new GlideImpersonate();
impUser.impersonate("62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1");
gs.info('FROM BACKGROUND SCRIPT2'+GlideImpersonate().isImpersonating());
impUser.impersonate(currentUser);
gs.info('FROM BACKGROUND SCRIPT3'+GlideImpersonate().isImpersonating());

 Thanks,
Rahul

@rahulyamgar 

did you check what came in logs and with which user?

Hi there,

It looks to me that the way you scripted this, you are running into a session issue. There for you are just getting false as return.

You are right- looks like an issue with session. When i added below line for impersonation, it just worked fine. I mean it returned true.

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

Thanks Mark.
