Re: User for executing remote action

I check the system and process, then see that the user who execute the script will be the user who run the cell.

but I don't know if we can use different user (who run the cell) to execute the script.

Thanks,

Re: User for executing remote action

Since the cell spawns subprocesses to execute remote actions, they are always executed with the user id the cell was started under. You cannot change this.

If you want to execute scripts under different users, consider to use remote execution.

Re: User for executing remote action

This is available in the action_requestor primitive.

The Knowledge Base Reference Guide should give you more details on how to use this primitive.

Re: User for executing remote action

There is a remote execution feature in BEM/SIM solution. IAS uses marimba API to actually execute a script on a remote box. If you use this mechanism then you can impersonate the logged in IX user to a user of that remote host. IAS has a credential repository which holds the impersonation. You should be able to find more information in the user guide.
