Impersonate User with REST API

I have successfully impersonate some user accounts by using the following REST API:
POST .../api/v1/auth
username=myadmin&password=myadminpassword&impersonate_username=myname

However, on some user accounts I am getting 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

My question is why I cannot impersonate all users?

I am getting 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

My Credentials are correct and I am getting the token if I remove the impersonate_username field. Please suggest if I need to add any patch here.

User impersonation was added last year, either in 2015/09 or 2015/12 update.

User impersonation was added by the CS Update 2014/12. But I recommend you applying a more recent update. Do you run at least the 2014/12 update?
