The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
We want to do some statistics on the use of "Act as ...", and try to do this by checking the CD2 web_logs (/dap/query/canvas_logs/table/web_logs/data).
When we look in the column "value.real_user_id" we get hundreds of lines for users who do not have the "Users - act as" permission. How can this happen? Until a good explanation I can't trust the column "value.real_user_id"?
We can find all rows with the word "masquerade" in the column "value.url", and as far as I have seen this is much more reliable?
Have I misssed something here? Any help is appreciated!
