User Impersonation

Serena Release Automation can use user impersonation when an agent must execute a command for which it might not otherwise have permission, or when a specific user must be employed for a given process. You implement impersonation when you configure a component's plug-in process step.

• On UNIX/Linux systems, the su/sudo commands are used to impersonate users, see User Impersonation on UNIX/Linux Using sudo (or su).
• On Windows, Serena Release Automation provides a utility program to handle impersonation, see Impersonation on Windows Systems.
