Secure impersonation directly from the following is not supported:

* PDI client
* Scheduled Jobs and Transformations
* Pentaho Report Designer
* Pentaho Metadata Editor
* Kitchen
* Pan
* Carte

When you run a transformation or job to run against the cluster from the PDI client, you cannot use secure impersonation. However, if you execute that job or transformation you created in the PDI client from the Pentaho Server, then you can use secure impersonation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-admin/9.3-administer/secure-the-pentaho-system/big-data-security/supported-components.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
