User Impersonation

When one Infinite Scale service is trying to talk to other Infinite Scale services, it needs to authenticate itself. To do so, it will impersonate a user using the auth-machine service. It will then act on behalf of this user. Any action will show up as action of this specific user, which gets visible when e.g. logged in to the audit log.

Deprecation

Note that with the upcoming auth-service service, the auth-machine service will be used less frequently and is probably a candidate for deprecation.
