Abstract
Techniques for enabling impersonation without requiring an access manager (AM) controlling access to a computing resource to have direct access to user information. The AM receives an impersonation request for a first user to impersonate a second user, the request being received during a first session initiated by the first user. The second user has an access privilege that permits access to the computing resource. The AM causes information to be obtained from an identity provider, the information being stored in a location inaccessible to the AM and indicating whether the first user has been granted permission to impersonate the second user. An impersonation session is initiated based on determining, using the information obtained from the identity provider, that the first user has been granted permission to impersonate the second user. The initiating comprises switching a user associated with the first session from the first user to the second user.
