Hello!
We're looking to customize how tenant impersonation works in our ABP tiered solution. From the SaaS > Tenants option we have the ability to impersonate a tenant using the option: "Login with this tenant", however the default user that's displayed for the impersonation is the "admin" user from the tenant :
Is it possible to modify this behavior? we would like the default user for impersonation to change depending on the user that logged into the host. For example, if the user that logged into the host is not an admin we don't want to allow them to impersonate the admin of the tenant.

- In ABP, tenant impersonation (āLogin with this tenantā) is implemented as part of the Account impersonation system. The UI is intentionally designed to ask a user name to impersonate inside the target tenant, and it prefills that textbox with
admin(the conventional tenant admin username created by the templates/seed). - There is no supported configuration point (setting/option) in ABP that changes this default/prefilled username based on the currently logged-in host user.
- The supported way to enforce your rule (ānon-admin host users must not impersonate tenant adminā) is to prevent/limit the action, not to rely on changing the prefilled username:
- Restrict the permission for tenant impersonation to a specific host role (e.g., only Host Admins). In practice, remove/grant the tenant impersonation permission only to allowed host-side roles/users so non-admin host users canāt use āLogin with this tenantā at all.
- If you need finer control than simple permission/role checks, implement your own āLogin with this tenantā flow (custom UI + custom application service) and validate the requested target username/user on the server side before generating the impersonation URL (i.e., deny impersonating
adminunless the current host user meets your criteria).

We want to have finer control so implementing our own āLogin with this tenantā flow would be the way to go. Can you point me to some documentation on how to do this?

The official entry point is the Account moduleās impersonation feature. The documentation explains the concept (tenant impersonation + user impersonation) and the built-in endpoints/flow you can replicate from your own UI:
- Use the built-in impersonation endpoints (from your own button/action) and then redirect the browser to the returned URL to complete the impersonation.
In practice, your ācustom Login with this tenantā flow is:
- Create your own UI action/button on the tenant list row.
- Call the Account impersonation API (tenant/user impersonation, depending on what you want).
- Apply your custom server-side rules before calling/allowing impersonation (e.g., deny if target user is
adminand current host user is not allowed). - Redirect to the URL returned by the impersonation endpoint.

The overall flow of what needs to be done is clear to me but how do I call the Account impersonation API? is there a service or controller I need to override? also how do I replace the original "Login with this tenant option" from the tenant dropdown?
