Enable impersonation event tracking using a system property.
Use the glide.audit.track_impersonation system property to enable the tracking of impersonation events in the Audit \[sys_audit\] table. When set to <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>, any actions performed via
impersonation are recorded as a reference in the sys_audit.user column, providing a clear and traceable audit. When set to <kbd class="ph userinput">false</kbd>, actions performed via impersonation appear to have been performed by the user
being impersonated.

Ensure the glide.audit.track_impersonation system property exists in the System Properties \[sys_properties\] table and is set to a value of <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.
