com.google.gerrit.server.InternalUser
Direct Known Subclasses:
PluginUser
public class InternalUser extends CurrentUser
User identity for plugin code that needs an identity.

An InternalUser has no real identity, it acts as the server and can access anything it wants, anytime it wants, given the JVM's own direct access to data. Plugins may use this when they need to have a CurrentUser with read permission on anything.

To enable additional groups (and gain their granted permissions) the user must update their account to use only trusted authentication providers.
