Dataverse API Limits and Impersonation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Matthew Hunter Empired 25

Hi All,

What I would like to do is have a web site where there is a single non-interactive user (application user) that makes the calls to Dataverse, but each call impersonates and actual Dataverse user - hence spreading the call count accross multiple regular users instead of adding to a single non-interactive user (application user) call count.

Based on the information here about API Limits:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/api-limits

... and the information here about Impersonation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/webapi/impersonate-another-user-web-api

Would the impersonated call count be added to the User who is doing the Impersonating, or does it go toward the User being Impersonated?

Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, you are correct - I just finished testing this out - the call count is definately attributed to the the impersonated user.

    Hi Matthew Hunter Empired,

    As the docs your provide, impersonate another user would use the impersonated user's identity to request authentication, so the caller is the impersonated user and the call count should be added to him.
