system user has no cm:person

[dooman]

We are migrating from 4.0.d to 4.2.c. We need to make some actions from the system user. There is no system user in the result of the query +TYPE:"cmerson" on 4.2.c version. Is this a bug or a feature? Can wee add the person with username "System" manually to repository?

Hello,

this is a "feature" as the system user is not a personal user. You don't need a "system" person to execute some logic as the "system" user.

Thank you for explanation, Axel! We created fake person in our object model and use it instead of person object from repository.
