How to activate script runner "Switch User Function" on cloud?

Switch User Function: 
I have seen this functionality on server but not on cloud. Could you help us to get this on our cloud.

Hi @rohith_kotwal ,

The "Switch User Function" is not available in the Jira Cloud version of ScriptRunner.

However, ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud does offer a "Run As" function that allows you to execute a script as another user. To use this feature, you will need to have the appropriate permissions to run scripts in ScriptRunner.

To access the "Run As" function, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the Script Console in Jira Cloud.
• Select "Run As" from the dropdown menu.
• Enter the username of the user you want to run the script as.
• Click the "Run" button to execute the script.

What type of permission are required to run the script? I'm site admin for the Jira. 
Unable to enter any user name in the Run as field.

Sorry, I have tested it.. and the "Run as" option only Show Automation user and current user.

You can use the option "As this user:" in the Scheduled job of Sript Runner.. but is not the solution that you need.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
