Hi @Mediga Vishal Vardhan 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Atlassian does not support impersonation through the Jira REST API. However, Atlassian Connect supports user impersonation using the JWT Bearer token authorization grant type for OAuth 2.0. This authorization method allows apps with the appropriate scope (ACT_AS_USER) to access resources and perform actions in Jira and Confluence on behalf of users. You can refer User impersonation for Connect apps  for more details. 

Hope this helps.
