Switch User Function
The Switch User function allows administrator users to temporarily assume another user's identity. You can switch user through the Switch User built-in script. This script is enabled by default. However, if you have extremely strong compliance requirements, you may wish to disable this feature.
Users with Script Edit Permissions can still create scripts that perform a user switch, via the API.
How to enable/disable
To enable or disable Switch User follow the steps below:
From ScriptRunner, select Settings.
- Toggle the Switch to a Different User option to on or off.
