Is it possible to impersonate the system user within a driver method?
I’ve read about impersonating windows user accounts but doing this for the system user sounds awkward.
Does Dataminer itself have any function to change the user who is triggering an action and setting that to appear to be the system user?
Thankyou
Hi David,
DataMiner does not have any native support for user impersonation as we also aim at keeping good audit trailing to know which user did what operation.
The only operations that would appear as being done by a system user should only be the ones done directly by one of the processes of DataMiner and not a specific user.
Saying that, sometimes it is necessary to do impersonation to access external resources like shared folders and in those cases, I have implemented this in the past this in QAction with the methods available in C#.
Thanks João
