In CMS 11 we could log in as a user like this

PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity("Dummy User"), new[] { "Everyone" });

It made sense in scheduled jobs, if it were important that the job had the privilieges as a normal visitor. Even if the job were started manually.

How can this be done in CMS 12? PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal is readonly now.

Have you tried `IPrincipalAccessor`?

You are correct, Vincent, IPrincipalAccessor was the way to go! I figured it out, but forgot to update this thread.
