Alfresco has no end-user feature to search "as another user". But it has code-level features to execute sections of code with a different user identity (AuthenticationUtils.runAs(RunAsWork, String)), and this would allow you to develop a custom search backend that executes the search as a different user and then filters the result again based on the actual user. Be aware though that this will result in a significant performance impact due to multiple permission checking and break functionality such as pagination (due to post-filtering), that you would need to compensate for or live with.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 May 2016 07:23:46 GMT afaust 2016-05-09T07:23:46Z Run search as a different user? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/run-search-as-a-different-user/m-p/296174#M249304 Is it possible to run search (normal and/or advanced) and the display of the search results as a different user?The planned use case is that users should be able to search for all documents (possibly with admin rights or a dedicated search user) and only limit access to the individual documents base Thu, 05 May 2016 15:21:17 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/run-search-as-a-different-user/m-p/296174#M249304 chkk 2016-05-05T15:21:17Z Re: Run search as a different user? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/run-search-as-a-different-user/m-p/296175#M249305 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>This is something that is not possible by configuration alone.
