Authentication context and current user in JCMA migration job

[jrichards]

Hi @darop,

Thanks for coming to Developer Community and thanks for your question. In summary, yes you are right. The migration runs in a thread that isn’t attached to the local user.

I did find reference to this before and the posted solution is the best answer

How to use ContentService in DiscoverableListener

Hi From my experience developing migration routine using DiscoverableListener you dont have a user in the current context (bound to current thread). I think I have seen somewhere a workaround to find “first user with admin privileges” and use that (setting thread local yourself before using Confluence user-aware APIs). BTW, same goes with a transaction context - you dont have an “open session” there, need to inject TransactionTemplate if you want to have it Alex

I hope this helps.

Regards,
James.
