Impersonation is where an administrator uses credentials to perform an action as a different user. When a user is being [impersonated](../user/admin_area/index.md#user-impersonation), their actions are logged as audit events as usual, with two additional details:
1. Usual audit events include information about the impersonating administrator. These are visible in their respective Audit Event pages depending on their type (Group/Project/User).
1. Extra audit events are recorded for the start and stop of the administrator's impersonation session. These are visible in the instance Audit Events.
