Impersonation user identity

If you installed the WebDAV Connector or the Visio Workflow Server, the installer created a Windows impersonation user. This impersonation user is trusted to take on the identify of (that is, to impersonate) an arbitrary Content Manager user. You can use the same impersonation user for all three interfaces.

The impersonation user is the user who uses the SDL Tridion Sites Application Pool. This identity defaults to the NetworkService account, which resolves to one of the following:

  • On French Windows: AUTORITE NT\SERVICE RÉSEAU
  • On German Windows: NT AUTORITÄT\NETZWERKDIENST
  • On Italian Windows: NT AUTHORITY\SERVIZIO DI RETE
  • On Spanish Windows: NT AUTHORITY\SERVICIO DE RED
  • On all other languages of Windows: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.
