Interface CustomerContextService

@PublicApi
public interface CustomerContextService

A Service Desk customer context allows any "named user" access to JIRA Service Desk and JIRA Platform services.

This service allows you to setup customer context, execute some code and have the special JIRA Service Desk permissions apply to that called code.

Normally on the JIRA platform, only licensed users can login and get permission-ed access to services. JIRA Service Desk, however, allows exceptions to this. In JIRA Service Desk EVERY named user is considered a "customer" when they are asking for help. This service allows you to enter a "customer context" to run code in the name of that user (free or otherwise).

WARNING : It is a breach of the JIRA and JIRA Service Desk licence agreements to use this mechanism to subvert the software's terms and conditions. You must only use these methods when you are calling code services on behalf of customers, where that work is related to JIRA Service Desk.
