It’s not cool to impersonate your fellow admins.

Especially in a production environment and without asking for permission first.

Check impersonations

If you are an admin, you can easily find who is using the impersonation feature by checking the event logs [sysevent_list] and looking for the events “impersonation.start” and “impersonation.end”.

• parm1: Impersonator
• parm2: User being impersonated

Instant notifications

But you have better things to do than to monitor the event log queue.

Did you know you can just activate a notification preference in the Instance Security Center (/isc) and you will receive an email when somebody impersonates you?
