|
|
|

* 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
