Sudo for Jira

This plugin allows administrators to execute commands via the REST API as other users. This is useful for example when triggering Jira issue transitions and time tracking via commit messages from another system. It can allow you to perform these commands as the actual user that made the commit, and attribute it to them, rather than to the automated administrative user.

=== Usage ===

Issue a REST API command (/rest/api/2/*) as a user with administrator privileges and include a sudo or sudo-email http header in the request. The sudo header should specify the username of the user to perform the command as, ie:

sudo: testuser

The sudo-email header will try to locate the user with the supplied email address to perform the command as, ie:

sudo-email: test@test.com

See the documentation for additional capabilities such as strict mode and cache control.
