alter Sys.UserName at run time

Can we possibly alter Sys.UserName during runtime or atleast the browser user name property?   Mahesh

Hi,

They will not allow us to reboot, it will be a security issue. I would however manage to get only the username as parameter and I need to force the application to think that its a different user - as I guess SSO login picks up the browser username from the application directly.This username would have different sets of access - to the application than what we have with the atcual login.

I guess you are talking about Login As Different User functionality. Check with developers for Login as Diff User URL and try to launch with that.

    No we do not have such approach here. The application directly logs us in based on whos logged in to the Windows system. Secondly for nightly Jenkins runs we have user id for which we cannot grant application access due to specific reasons. Any change of logins on a system level cannot be accepted as these runs happen on Organizational level. Thats why i am trying to alter the SYS username. Or rather I guess we need to do that on Chrome API level ?
