Impersonate a user

Question

I'v written a add-on that till recently worked perfectly but due to the users messing around to much in the SAP forms (particularly invoice but others as well), we had to look for a way to restrict there actions.
Since SAP only provides a 'do not open ' / 'write' / 'read-only' option we decided to make a small screen of our own to enter the relevant data and give the user only the 'read-only' rights.
But this mend that my add-on stops working (since it logs into the company with users rights), I solved this by making the add-on log in with the manager (or any other superuser account with the necessary rights).
But now every document they create is created by this user (kind of logical), is there any way I can still log into the company with the manager account but on creation of the document (invoice) say who is creating it? (I know who is logged in (username))

HI,
You can use the "User Authorization Form"  to create additional authorizations. Easy to use, and you do not have to add only few extra lines inside your code:
When you creating the form, you can try to set the form mode to add_mode, and if it is fails, you set find_mode or ok_mode.
I am always using this solution with Try/Catch segment.
