How to retrieve users use for transition permissions check in condition?

[Roberto Saltini]

Hi,

I am basically trying to execute a transition as if it was execute by a user different from the one currently logged in.

Considering the following:

• The current logged in user is "userA"

• "userA" modifies a field which via a listener executes the following automatic transition:

  def UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
  ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName("jira")
  
  IssueService.TransitionValidationResult transitionValidationResult = issueService.validateTransition(
          user,issue.id, actionId,new IssueInputParametersImpl([:])
  )
  
  //if(true)
  if(! transitionValidationResult.errorCollection.hasAnyErrors())
  {
      log.debug("Transition Successful")
      issueService.transition(user,transitionValidationResult)
      return true
  }
  else
  {
      log.debug("Transition Error: ${transitionValidationResult.errorCollection.toString()}")
      return false
  }

  Please note that he transition is called using the user "jira" rather than the currenty logged in user ("userA")

Now, in the condition of the transition corresponding to "actionid"  I would like to be able to know which was the user used as parameter of validateTransition(). Referring to my example, this would give as a result the user "jira".

If I use either

((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();

or

ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

I get as result the user "userA" not "jira"


Thanks.

You can use 

ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().setLoggedInUser(user)

before issueService.validateTransition(...)
