AutenticationUtil.runAs with group id

[fmontinaro]

Hello,

I used the AutenticationUtil.runAs(RunAsWork<R> runAsWork, String uid) method and I passed as uid argument a GROUP id and not a user id.
it seems to work. It's a correct behaviour or is it a bug?

Thanks
Federico

Its surprising, and strange but probably not a bug.   Groups and users are both "authorities".

It seems that groups can run jobs with the AuthenticationUtil but probably groups can't write or create contents…. or at least I hope
