> 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

>
> 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.
