Server category

Perform server-side operations. For example, query and update a record, impersonate a user, or run a server-side script.

Impersonate

Impersonate the specified user for the test.

Impersonate specifies a user for executing subsequent steps in this test. It works for both server-side and browser-side steps and stays in effect until changed with another Impersonate step or until the test ends. The impersonation automatically ends when the test is over.

Note:

Do not impersonate a user with the test author role. Doing so can lead to conflicts that interfere with executing the test.
Do not rely on user IDs being consistent across different instances. The system dynamically assigns users IDs, so the ID for a particular user often differs from one instance to the next.
When exporting and importing automated tests, keep in mind that update sets do not update the user field.
Tests can impersonate users with the snc_external role, which allows testing users who do not have login access. See Explicit Roles for requirements of the snc_external role.

Server category

Perform server-side operations. For example, query and update a record, impersonate a user, or run a server-side script.

Impersonate

Impersonate the specified user for the test.
