---------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
