Inpersonate a workflow action by code

---

Inpersonate a workflow action Even if you use the impersonate step in your worflow the action will run as administrator, which means that if you copy an item it will have the administrator as owner even if you change the author property during the process, so this will not trigger a new workflow on item created. The option is to impersonate your custom action, this partial code shows how to do it.

Partial code protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext) { try { using (SPWeb web = (SPWeb)(__Context.Web)) { Guid listGuid = new Guid(__ListId); SPList myList = web.Lists[listGuid]; SPListItem myItem = myList.GetItemById(__ListItem); SPUserToken spusertoken = web.AllUsers[WorkflowUser].UserToken; using (SPSite destSite = new SPSite(DestinationListUrl, spusertoken)) { using (SPWeb destWeb = destSite.OpenWeb()) { SPList destList = destWeb.GetList(ProcessStringField(executionContext, DestinationListUrl)); SPUser SPAuthor = destWeb.AllUsers[WorkflowUser]; ProcessActivity(service, myItem, destList, SPAuthor); } } } } catch (Exception e) { return ActivityExecutionStatus.Faulting; } return ActivityExecutionStatus.Closed; }
