ThreadResourceResolver - is it safe to use and what are its limits?

Question

We are currently using a ServiceResourceResolver which works fine, but noticed that the ThreadResourceResolver allows me to read from the JCR without issue - but I've not found documentation around its limits/permissions/etc, only that it's the last unclosed ResourceResolver created on the current thread.Is it always non-null and able to read from the JCR? What are the assumed permissions?Can it be used to write to the JCR?

Hi,I assume you are referring tohttps://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/ref/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/resourceresolverhelper/ResourceResolverHelper.html. If so, this really only works in a request context in which case it will be the ResourceResolver associated with the current request.So:1) Yes it will always be non-null in a request context.2) The permissions of the current user.3) Depends upon the permissions of the current user.Regards,Justin

I was referring tohttps://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling7/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceResolverFactory.html#getThreadResourceResolver--but would probably be a safe bet that your answer is correct for this one as well.Thanks,Joshua
