angela updated OAK-2947: ------------------------ Attachment: OAK-2947.patch initial POC for this improvement (still lacking the additional restriction proposed by felix). > Allow configured system user(s) to impersonate regular users > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OAK-2947 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2947 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: core > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: angela > Assignee: angela > Attachments: OAK-2947.patch > > > Based on some private discussion on how to implement a feature that allows a > given subject to continue working on 'his' modifications after changes being > persisted, we ([~djaeggi], [~chaotic] and [~anchela]) thought that it would > be beneficial to have a configuration option in Oak that allows certain > system users to impersonate regular users irrespective on the > {{rep:impersonators}} properties present with those users. > [~fmeschbe] additionally proposed to allow for a configuration that not only > states the name(s) of the service users but also limits the sudo-rights to > members of a certain group: for example the impersonation ability of a > potential system user "impersonate-content-authors" could be limited to > impersonate members of the "content-authors" group. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
