Impersonate
Description
Using this activity it is possible to impersonate another user so as to execute the workflow as if it were really the user in question to carry out the various operations.
It is useful to use this technique in case you need, for example, to make changes and keep track of who made them. In fact, without this functionality it would
result that all the changes were made by the default user of the workflow engine and not by the real user. Using impersonation will also respect all the grants of the impersonated user, improving security.
In order for impersonation to be successful, the user running the workflow must be configured to be able to impersonate himself in all or in a list of users. It is possible to return to the starting situation
using the Deimpersonate activity which allows you to return to execute the workflow with the default user of the workflow engine.
