Abstract

Client impersonation is recognized by an access control service using servicer credentials to allow a servicer to impersonate a user's context while requesting actions be performed on a computing resource. A servicer may be requested to perform an action through impersonation, granting access to the context of a user related to the computing resource. The computing resource receives servicer credentials and impersonation information from the servicer. After verifying the servicer's authorization to perform actions under the context of the user, the servicer may attempt to perform the requested action. The action may be logged as performed by the servicer impersonating the user. The user may also be billed for any costs incurred.
