Hello, Helen,
 
Thank you for your question. 
 
Flexmonster provides the possibility to specify custom request headers.
This is achieved via the requestHeaders property of the dataSource object, for example:

var pivot = new Flexmonster({
container: "#pivot-container",
componentFolder: "https://cdn.flexmonster.com/",
report: {
"dataSource": {
type: "elasticsearch",
node: "your_URL_string_for_connection",
index: "your_index",

requestHeaders: {
'es-security-runas-user': "jacknich"
}

}
}
});

More information about the requestHeaders property is available in the Data Source Object guide.
 
This way you could pass the request header that is required for the Elasticsearch impersonation feature.
 
 
Please let us know if this works for you. 
Looking forward to your response.
 
Kind regards, 
Vera
