Pass-through

Paths continue from https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}, with the parts in braces filled in from your client's account. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

When access ends

Operate As renews the sign-in before it runs out and checks it daily. If Atlassian refuses to renew it, the service shows Expired, you're alerted, and your client reconnects from the same link.
