Web Tool Credentials

Question

I have a web tool that uses both arcpy and Python API.  The arcgis.gis.GIS object correctly sees the user of the web tool, but arcpy sees the owner of the ArcSOC process.  I would like arcpy to sign into Portal as the web tool user [so that layers in a Pro project will be visible, which I don't want to share with Everyone].  Is there any way to do this?

I ended up creating a special account and storing the encrypted password.  I'm not incredibly happy with that approach, but it at least prevents hard-coding credentials.
