-=== Introduction to User impersonation
-
-User Impersonation is a feature that offer a way to select a user login and impersonate it, i.e. see what the user could
-see navigating through the application in his name.
-
-=== How do this work ?
-
-An authorized user _(see <<Security,security>> and <<Controls,controls>> section for configuration)_, can select a user
-that will be impersonated.
-
-The impersonation start, if everything is well configured, in current application (partymgr for the demo).
-Everything appears like if we were logged in with the userLoginId and the valid password (though we know nothing about it)
-
-The only thing showing that we currently are impersonating a user is the little bottom-right image :
-
-image::impersonate-ico.png[Impersonate icon, pdfwidth=0.5in, align=left]
-
-This icon indicates, when clicking on it, the user impersonated, and offer a way to depersonate.
-
-The impersonate period is stored for audit purpose, and if the impersonator forgot to depersonate, the period
-is terminated _one hour_ after impersonation start.
-
-=== Security
-
-This feature can draw some concerns about security aspect. This paragraph will introduce every controls and properties
-that have been implemented around the impersonation feature.
-
-[CAUTION]
-These configuration steps are not to be neglected for a *production environment* since this feature offer a way to act
- in place of another user.
-
-==== Properties
-
-The _security.properties_ file introduce two properties that control impersonation feature :
-
-
-[source]
-security.disable.impersonation = true
-
-This property, set by default to *true*, controls the activation of impersonation feature. If no configuration is done
-any user trying to use impersonation will face an error message, indicating that the feature is disabled.
-
-To enable impersonation this property need to be set to *false*
-
-
-[source]
-security.login.authorised.during.impersonate = false
-
-This property controls the way impersonation occurred to the impersonated user :
-
-In default configuration, the impersonated user see nothing and can use the application without knowing that he is
-currently impersonated. Several authorized user can impersonate a same login without any issue.
-
-[NOTE]
-This configuration is intended for testing/QA environment allowing any authorized user to impersonate a login
-to validate its configuration, test the application etc.
-
-Set to *true*, this configuration improve the control of the data generated by the impersonated user. Indeed, Only one
-authorized user can impersonate a login at the same time, and during the impersonation process, the impersonated user
-is unable to act within the application.
-
-Since the impersonation period is stored in database, the actions done by the
-authorized user can be identified if there is the need to do so.
-[NOTE]
-This configuration is intended for production environment
-
-
-==== Controls
-
-The permission::
-
-First, to be able to use impersonation, a user need to possess _IMPERSONATE_ADMIN_ permissions. Demo data offer
-_IMPERSONATION_ security group for this purpose. +
-In demo data, _FULLADMIN_ security group also possess the permission.
-
-
-Permission based user restriction::
-
-An authorized user cannot impersonate any user. There are two main controls that will restrict the impersonation feature.
-
-Cannot impersonate Admin user:::
-
-It is impossible to impersonate a user that is granted any of the admin permission :
-
- "IMPERSONATE_ADMIN"
- "ARTIFACT_INFO_VIEW"
- "SERVICE_MAINT"
- "ENTITY_MAINT"
- "UTIL_CACHE_VIEW"
- "UTIL_DEBUG_VIEW"
-
-Cannot impersonate more privileged user:::
-
-It is impossible to impersonate a user that has more permission than your user. Even if the missing persmission is
-a minor one.
