My question is very simple... Can I post in chatter on behalf on another user i.e. not the context user ?

I didn't find any method in the documentation which allows to override the running user and the field FeedItem.InsertedById is only Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort

If you insert via the regular FeedItem, you can set the CreatedBy..here's an example for an account post:

FeedItem fi = new FeedItem();
String s = 'Test Message';        

            fi.CreatedById = '0053000000AD9YT';
            fi.Body = s;
        fi.ParentId = '0013000001Gn4BA';
            fi.Type = 'TextPost';
            insert fi;

You can't do this via ConnectAPI at this time though.

Using salesforce standard tools you are not able to post on behalf of another user.

But you can utilize the salesforce REST-API and login as a different user via HTTP Callouts..

  • that would require updating the other user's password in code/custom setting every time he updates it...
