Session ID in Web Services

When accessing Sage CRM via the Web Services API a user session needs to be created.

private WebService WS=new WebService();
private logonresult SID;
SID=WS.logon("wsuser","x3%b0H2");
WS.SessionHeaderValue = new SessionHeader();
WS.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = SID.sessionid;
//
//do work here
//
WS.logoff(SID.sessionid);

This would return in an on-premise install of CRM a session id that was in the form 92391231117384.

Is there a way to impersonate the WS logon using the actual user login details without the need of the user password?

We are trying to retrieve a set of records via WS, and want WS will return the set of data only specific for the user who is triggering the call.

Hello

This depends on how you are using webservices. See community.sagecrm.com/.../grabbing-serverside-information-using-a-soap-webservice-call-ajax.aspx

In that article the webservices use the session ID already obtained when the user logged on into the main interface.
