    jeffshurtliff I got some information I wasn't aware of that I think should solve your use case. 

    I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but I got the info from our Profession Services guru AdamN. Using Session Key authentication and API v1,  you should be able to pass the user.login of the  target user and an admin session key, and you will get back the session key of target user in the response. Your admin account will require the allow_switch_users permission.

    [EDIT - FOLLOW UP] We added a Create subscriptions for another user guide in the Developer Doc Portal with deeper explanations and examples.

     

    Please let me know if this works for you.

    Cheers,
