+# EXECUTE AS Statement
+
+Allows to execute queries on behalf of a different user.
+
+## Syntax {#syntax}
+
+```sql
+EXECUTE AS target_user;
+EXECUTE AS target_user subquery;
+```
+
+The first form (without `subquery`) sets that all the following queries in the current session will be executed on behalf of the specified `target_user`.
+
+The second form (with `subquery`) executes only the specified `subquery` on behalf of the specified `target_user`.
+
+In order to work both forms require server setting [allow_impersonate_user](/operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings#allow_impersonate_user)
+to be set to `1` and the `IMPERSONATE` privilege to be granted. For example, the following commands
+```sql
+GRANT IMPERSONATE ON user1 TO user2;
+GRANT IMPERSONATE ON * TO user3;
+```
+allow user `user2` to execute commands `EXECUTE AS user1 ...` and also allow user `user3` to execute commands as any user.
+
+While impersonating another user function [currentUser()](/sql-reference/functions/other-functions#currentUser) returns the name of that other user,
+and function [authenticatedUser()](/sql-reference/functions/other-functions#authenticatedUser) returns the name of the user who has been actually authenticated.
+
+## Examples {#examples}
+
+```sql
+SELECT currentUser(), authenticatedUser(); -- outputs "default    default"
+CREATE USER james;
+EXECUTE AS james SELECT currentUser(), authenticatedUser(); -- outputs "james    default"
+```
