Impersonation allows a site admin access to all the folders on the platform, including those that belong to other users. A connection can be created using the username and password of the site admin. This then allows a data source to be created to access a different user’s account without ever having the username or password of that user. This is done by enabling the Run as user option when creating a data source to assign to a policy. When enabled, the Choose a user list displays all the available accounts on the connection available for impersonation. Simply select the account you want to impersonate.
