Capabilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~
New global capabilities are added.
* link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.8/access_control.html#capability_generateHttpPassword[
Generate Http Password] Allows non-administrator users to generate HTTP
passwords for users other than themself.
+
This capability would typically be assigned to a non-interactive group
to be able to generate HTTP passwords for users from a tool or web service
that uses the Gerrit REST API.
* link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.8/access_control.html#capability_runAs[
Run As] Allows users to impersonate other users by setting the `X-Gerrit-RunAs`
HTTP header on REST API calls.
+
Site administrators do not inherit this capability; it must be granted
explicitly.
