Learn how to use impersonation to run a migration job as a specific user.

Overview

Impersonation allows a site admin access to all the folders on the platform, including those that belong to other users. A job can be set up using the username and password of the site admin to sync/migrate/copy files to or from a different user's account without ever having the username or password of that user. If a connection has been created with an account with the proper permissions, you can turn on the Run as user toggle or the source and/or destination. You then select the user you want to impersonate for the job. 

Click Choose.

 

Select the user.
