You are correct, nested impersonation is possible in SQL Server. Both at the SQL Server login and database user levels. We have done it manually a few times, but haven't taken the time to automate it yet. I'll put it in our follow up list, and see if we can get it addressed before EOY. I think we'd like to add the feature as a "-Recursive" or "-Nested" flag in the existing "Invoke-SQLAuditPrivImpersonateLogin" and "Invoke-SQLAuditPrivImpersonateLogin" functions.
Thanks for adding the feature request for me. I'll keep working on it and submit a pull request once I get a functioning version.
No worries, thanks for reaching out. It should be a fun feature. I’m curious to see what trends it may uncover once we find an opportunity to run it on scale. Cool stuff!
Would it be possible to implement nested impersonation capabilities in the scenario in which you cannot go straight to sysadmin? If not, am I missing an understanding as to why it is not possible?
