Running Commands as Another User
| Info |
|---|
Only available for DC or Server versions of Jira |
When adding a site to CLI, you provide an Atlassian account credentials or username for running commands. Normally all commands run as this user but sometimes you may want to run a command as another user. Some Jira APIs doesn’t allow a to specify a user for an action but some APIs allow a user to be specified. For example when adding a ‘Vote’ for an issue, you can’t specify which user voting so it always uses the user you have specified when adding the site. But when adding a ‘Watcher’ for an issue, API allows you to specify a user as watcher so you can make another user watch the issue other than the user you specify when configuring the site. Very similarly you can’t specify a user when adding a comment to an issue or when logging work to an issue.
