Execute call from Extension to a QRS API with another user

[aguirre]

Hello,

I have some QRS calls in an extension in a dashboard.

I would like to run them as another user (with other permission) instead of the one that is logged in the dashboard.

I have tried something like this (which work from some code outside an Extension) with no luck:

httpHeader["X-Qlik-User"] = " UserDirectory=Internal;UserId=sa_repository";

Is it possible and can provide me some code?

Hey @aguirre , we are discussing similar requirement here. As mentioned in the link, I would not run any API call with impersonation from frontend.

The method mentioned by you doesn't work in a fronend API call. That method works when you are authenticating API call using Qlik certificates and you need to impersonate a user.
