I have gone through the AEM 6.2 release notes and there is section called 'Security/Security Features' ,in this the third point is mentioned as below

• Ongoing effort: Switched usage of the Sling loginAdministrative API to Service Users it various areas of the product.'

THat mains that when you want to get a session in API code - you need to create an AEM system user and use SLing Mapping. We have many articles that show you how to do this. For example:

This article steps you through that process.
