Confluence Rest Impersonation Calls

[Nicolas Duciaume]

I'm currently developing an app through springboot which allows to input a json file containing inactive or expired users information. With this information I am required to search up many thing like personal spaces, spaces and pages watched, etc. But a few think that I must fetch Drafts and Tasks, are personal to the user thus I can only access my own Draft and Tasks because the authorization for the rest call contains my user login and password. I then heard about impersonation calls. Through what I have seen discussed on these forums I get conflicting messages, some people say that you cannot do impersonations calls for confluence and some say that you can. I wish to know if it is truly possible and how I would go about doing this through Java/SpringBoot. 

Thank you.

Hi @Nicolas Duciaume , 

How about writing app with the REST end point which will expose needful info?

Then you don't need impersonate, you can just use UserAccessor, ContentManager other interfaces
