The way described would only affect a single program execution, nothing else. I do have use cases where this would be very comfortable - but i have no solution, so i'm curious how this will turn out. | |

USER-S (in this scenario) effectively has the permission of USER-A to piggbyback off their admin credentials (USER-S has been given the user name and password to use). If, for some reason, USER-A wishes to withdraw their permission that can be done by changing the password for the USER-A account or deleting USER-A . In either case, the auto-entered credentials would no longer work, but USER-S has not changed. | |
