Hi Goutam,

if the plugin has been impersonated to run under System Admin, that's what the audit log should show.. the user who made the update might not even have permissions to do what the plugin is doing, so, technically, it's the System Admin who's making the changes:)

in the plugin context, there is UserId and InitiatingUserId - I think they will be different in your scenario. So you might add a user lookup to the entity and store UserId in that lookup every time the plugin runs (the record will still be modified by the Sys Admin, but you will likely see original user name in that additional field)

Hi Goutam,

Does the ModifiedOnBehalfBy field show any value for the updated record?
