When calling the UpdateEx via the restAPI, the “CreatedBy” field is stamped with the restAPI user. I was wondering if there is a way to pass the value as an override.
For example:
The restAPI user might be myAPIUser. But would like it to write myCustomUser instead.
Is this possible?
I don’t have a solution for you. But I am curious what the use case is. This sounds like a change that shouldn’t be made.
Check out the Impersonation Header in the REST guides on EpicWeb. Be sure to scope down the API user for that use case. Impersonation is a powerful tool and could be abused.
The use case is populating the a table via a WebApp that calls the RestAPI.
When calling the UpdateEx, the restapi uses the credentials from the WebApp’s app pool.
I’d consider porting your ERP rest call logic into a function and just call that instead. No need to do all the funky rest calls from the client.
