Assign the Can Run As User role

Users with administrator access in WebSphere Portal can assign the Can Run As User role to designated users.

Use the Virtual Resources option to grant permission for all users or groups in the system. If we use virtual resources to assign the Can Run As User role, the user can also impersonate the administrator.
