How to use current user to run api calls on postfunction?

Question

Hi Team,

Im trying run an api call from the postfunction to get fields data. but the downside is we cant use the hard coded / basic auth due too restrictions. can we make use of current user to run the API.

Hello @Pramodh M ,

i need to get the json of the fields data (like type etc) which we get from /rest/api/2/field.

But to do so it needs authentication and for the auth i need to make use current user. as this call is run by admins only.

i cannot hard code the creds to the code.

Hi @Gagan

Use ComponentAccessor to get logged in user and IssueManager to perform any activity on Issue using that user who is performing either transition or any relevant action.
