Did you assign impersonation users and groups to any users?

Did you build the index after you did that...?

Hi Nicolai,

Tried assigning multiple users and redbuilt the index. but no luck

best regards,

Well, I can make it work, so something else is probably wrong in your setup.

You have to go back and look into your setup and if you cannot find the cause, we need some more information if you need help.

Hi Anton,

If you are already impesonating a user AND you have impersonation set to "Full", you might not get it to work because the Macro is looking at users that can be impersonated by the "Prymary user", which is your impersonated account.

Can you confirm that to be the case?

A long time ago we've built a custom macro that returns the "real user", meaning, it would take the primary or secondary depending on the impersonation settings and it would always work. You could build one too if that helps . Here's how it looks https://www.screencast.com/t/anXnUhQC42

And here's the source code for it.

public static User GetRealUser()
{
    var user = User.GetCurrentUser(PagePermissionLevels.Frontend);

    if (user == null)
    {
        return null;
    }
    
    var impersonationSetting = SystemConfiguration.Instance.GetValue("/Globalsettings/Modules/Users/Impersonation");
    if (!"Full".Equals(impersonationSetting, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
        return user;
    }
    
    var secondaryUser = user.CurrentSecondaryUser; 
    return secondaryUser ?? user;
}

public class GetRealUser : Macro
{
    private static readonly Dictionary<string, Func<object>> SupportedActionsInternal = new Dictionary<string, Func<object>>()
    {
        {
            "SecondaryUserIdOrPrimaryUserId",
            () => Extensions.Users.GetRealUser()?.ID ?? -1
        }
    };

    private static readonly object LockObject = new object();

    public override object Evaluate(string action)
    {
        lock (LockObject)
        {
            if (SupportedActionsInternal.ContainsKey(action))
            {
                try
                {
                    return SupportedActionsInternal[action]();
                }
                catch (Exception) { }
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

    public override string Name => "My Custom Macros";

    public override IEnumerable<string> SupportedActions
    {
        get
        {
            IEnumerable<string> result;
            lock (LockObject)
            {
                result = SupportedActionsInternal.Keys.ToList();
            }
            
            return result;
        }
    }
}
