    Create a workflow that will have workflow assembly, which will run in context to the System Administrator( Which has appropriate privileges)and will be called from the JavaScript function. From this workflow you can pass the required data in output parameters which you can further use in your JavaScript function.

    You can refer this blog http://www.inogic.com/blog/2016/08/scenario-where-impersonation-in-custom-workflow-can-be-used-for-dynamics-crm/

    In CRM 2016 you can use Actions to achieve this quite easily. In CRM 2011 you can develop a "CRM Command pattern" as I like to call it. Create an entity called e.g. customCommand and set it to be not searcheable. It should have some custom attribute to store some value (I usually store some JSON there let's say it called Value). Add READ permissions for all users you want for this entity. Create a plugin that will fire on POST RetrieveMultiple for this entity.

    Now everything is just about creating the proper plugin for RetrieveMultiple. You can call retrieve for this entity with the filtering e.g. retrieve customCommand where Value equals "123456". In the plugin you can easily get this value from the Query and do anything you want even with admin context, so you can get some entities and put the value that you get in RetrieveMultiple result. Of course on JS side you will have to somehow get this information because you will get a list of customCommand objects but you get the idea.

    This approach can be used to avoid developing some custom WCF services.

    Hi Satish,

       I totally agree with Mark you can give the admin user another security role to achieve this function.

       But if you have to do it with customization instead of security role, there are some options：

    1. Use field security, expose the required field to some user or team which need to view the information.

    2. if your CRM is on premise, create a SSRS report with custom data source and use the EXECUTE AS statement to impersonate a user or login in SQL.

    3. exposed you CRM service to a custom web API or WCF service and call the service with admin authentication.

    Hi Satish

    I would push back on this as it is very close to multiplexing - If you need users to access and entity give them an account and set the security roles
