Fastest way to check whether the user is admin from app backend

Got it, thanks.

I think something like generating a JWT token using the Javacsript API (AP.context.getToken()) on the Jira side page and then sending it to your API (that would have to verify it) could work.

Indeed, I just found this post that seems to perfectly describe the same use-case:

Yesterday, I happen to watch this video on cachable iframes from Atlas Camp where I came across AP.context.getToken . This allows developers to retrieve a valid JWT from the host product and use it to make Ajax requests to our app server. As an added benefit, the JWT will pass the current context to the app server as part of the JWT.
