asUser

asUser(adapter, userId?): BoundClient

Defined in: packages/core/src/client/BoundClient.ts:78

Make API calls on behalf of the currently logged-in user.

• In Forge Functions: the invoking user’s identity is used automatically when no userId is provided.
• In Custom UI / UI Kit 2: user identity is managed by the bridge.
• In Forge Remotes: pass payload.context.accountId as the userId.

Parameters

adapter

ForgeAdapter

The ForgeAdapter for the target product

userId?

string

Optional Atlassian account ID. If omitted, Forge uses the invoking user’s identity automatically.

Returns

BoundClient

Example

import { asUser } from '@forge-clients/core';
import { getMyself } from '@forge-clients/jira/v3';

// Without userId — uses the invoking user:
const client = asUser(adapter);
const me = await getMyself(client);

// With explicit userId (e.g. from a Forge Remote payload):
const client = asUser(adapter, payload.context.accountId);
