      We have implemented a SOAP API that will cause Perforce triggers to push work-logs and state transitions on JIRA. The problem is that we're doing this with a dummy SOAP user (trigger-user) to accomplish these SOAP calls.

      There should be a way to allow that dummy SOAP user (which contains admin privileges) to login and execute SOAP commands on behalf of a user that way the work-log and state transitions being made can be tracked as the user as oppose to the dummy user.

            JIRA's SOAP API was deprecated in JIRA 6.0 and will be removed in JIRA 7.0. This is supported in the JIRA REST API.

            Hi Tim,

            Thanks for the clarification. I missed the UI/SOAP difference.

            If I am wrong about this, could you please tell me how this request is different from JRA-2134?

            This is totally different in a sense that JRA-2134 is trying to address SU like capabilities from the GUI. This improvement however is talking about enhancing JIRA's SOAP API such that a new soap function called login_as() is implemented. The new function will inherit the existing soap login() call but will take a third argument as the user we wish to login as.

            The workaround plugin discussed in JRA-2134's comment does not address the SOAP piece of the requested improvement. Please re-open the issue; let me know should you need further clarification...

            Hi Tim,

            This appears to be a duplicate of JRA-2134 and therefore I will resolve this issue.
