Interface UserFactory

@PublicApi
 @ParametersAreNullableByDefault
public interface UserFactory

Factory to handle conversions between SDUser and JIRA ApplicationUser classes.

For most APIs in Service Desk we only allow the usage for logged in users. As ApplicationUser is null for anonymous users the usage of SDUser and its subclasses is mandatory for these APIs. This allows APIs to be more specific that they need a logged in user.

This factory provides an easy way to convert ApplicationUser to subclasses
