what is impersonation in ASP.NET?

Answer Posted / r.suresh kumar

By default, ASP.NET executes in windows account. Sometimes
you need to access data from network resources such as a
file on a shared drive, which requires additional
permissions. One way to overcome this restriction is to use
impersonation. With impersonation, ASP.NET can execute the
request using the identity of the client who is making the
request, or ASP.NET can impersonate a specific account you
specify in web.config.
