impersonate() Method
Use this method to log on and impersonate the user during the SAWSessionService service. This method is useful when you need to create sessions for multiple users and have only the administrator's name and password. You do not need to use the (logon) method if you use the impersonate() method. If user authentication or impersonation fails, an exception is thrown. Signature
