Currently, when I drag a non system user to the impersonators tab of the system user, it's not going to be saved.

This is not supported - it must be an AEM user.

Hi,

why are you trying to impersonate a system user? A good explanation of the intention for a system user can be found here[0]. System users were never intended to be users you can log into AEM with.

Hi

Adding replies from the internal experts:

1. The idea of system user is to authenticate at service level without need of credentials.  Impersonate is not right way & is misuse of concept .
