Hello,

Is there a way to impersonate a user within the API?
We have a service running with an admin account that updates certain orders on behalf of a few users.
We would like to have the user who triggered the change show up as the active user when calling code in the OrderSaving/Saved events on our server package.

Is this possible?

Server packages run as the administrator. There is no way to change this.

The only way for a server package to impersonate a user is to create another SelectServer instance by logging in with the user credentials. This means the server must know the username/password for the user and it would consume a license for the duration of the session. This is not advised.
