Is it possible to impersonate the Discobot?

Yes, if the account is a developer account (from app.yml) - adding this information from @JammyDodger in case this message is marked as solution. [image]

I believe only sysadmins can impersonate Discobot (ie. the accounts of the emails in the app.yml). Same for system, and I think other admins too.

I’m kinda curious to know why anybody would want to impersonate discobot. What’s your use case? :thinking:

I tested by creating a new admin account and I indeed can’t impersonate Discobot with this one. I edited my previous message :+1:

People having a party with a disco ball and want a user that loves discoing (If that’s a word)

I added my mail address my admin account to containers/app.yml in DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS and the mail of the admin I want to impersonate. But when I open the account in admin settings, there is no “Impersonate” button. What did I forget?

Ok, I had already thought about that. Thanks, then I know now.
