I am pretty sure the answer to this is that it's not possible but I will ask the question.

This is in relation to the web api but I am sure it would hold true for any other service such as scheduled service or a customised windows service is there a way to change what user say an order or debtor note is written as having been modified by as?

As what currently happens is it is the user that the api or service logged in as, it's almost like there needs to be an extra parameter against the login called say alias that could get used.

Not really.

We did make a change to allow notes being deserialised to use the provided staff details (see DEV-6949) - Although one could argue that technically it was never really a bug, but a behaviour by design to audit truthfully the user who added or edited the note.

So in that context, you can now specify the staff member associated with a note even though it's created or edited by a different user. But in the larger scope that I think you're wanting, we don't support aliasing or impersonating.
