      Problem Definition

      Currently in Bitbucket Server, a user who has administrative permissions in the application can switch between normal user operations and administrative operations without being prompted for their password. This is a potential security risk, and JIRA and Confluence do provide these extra prompts.

      Suggested Solution

      A popup should appear when switching to the administrative interface, asking the user for their password, much like it is implemented in JIRA and Confluence.

      Workaround

      Log into Bitbucket Server as a normal user with reduced privileges for normal work and log in with an administrative user when administrative work is required.
