  • Configure glide.sys.log_impersonation to control if user-impersonating events are logged in your instance.

    If this property is not set to the recommended value of true, user-impersonating events are no longer logged. The absence of logging could impact the automated security detection and investigation capabilities on your instance. Ensure the property glide.sys.log_impersonation exists and is set to true. If the property does not appear in the sys_properties table, add a new record.
