    I think that is but tricky. As per this article, user A needs to have basic minimum permissions to the resource. My understanding is, in your case both users should have access to Entity A then only they can impersonate each other.

    Impersonation involves two different user accounts: one user account (A) is used when executing code to perform some task on behalf of another user (B).

    User account (A) needs the prvActOnBehalfOfAnotherUser privilege, which is included in the Delegate security role. The actual set of privileges that is used to modify data is the intersection of the privileges that the Delegate role user possesses with that of the user who is being impersonated. In other words, user (A) is allowed to do something if and only if user (A) and the impersonated user (B) have the privilege necessary for the action.

    More details:

    Hope this helps !
