> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository

>
> Apache Sling recently added the ability to define dedicated service users
> that allows to replace the troublesome
> {{SlingRepository.loginAdministrative}} with {{SlingRepository.loginService}}.
> In a default Sling repository backed by a Jackrabbit/Oak content repository
> this results in user accounts being created for these service users.
> Since these service users are never expected to represent a real subject that
> has a userId/password pair or profile information editable by this very
> subject, I figured out that it may be useful to cover these service users
> with the following API extensions, which would allow us to identify if a
> given user account is in fact a service (or system) user.
