    To impersonate a user means that you're running a session as one user but you execute a piece of code in the context of another user. This is often a case of generic batch jobs that do some work on behalf of other users.

    Hi,

    this is dynamics ax 2012, normally administrator have rights to check online users who is using AX system.

    get the image from the online user list (client sessions),  shows impersonate session for one of our normal users. it suppose to show the user login name into the system, by right

    but it shows administrator with impersonate session, the default session is should show User session type,

    Hi,

    Where did you take this screenprint from?

    What form / application ... did you open to make it?

    Would be great if you could elaborate.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig
