runincontext deprecated but whats the replacement?

[barocsi]

loopback deprecated loopback.runInContext() is deprecated. See https://docs.strongloop.com/display/APIC/Using%20current%20context for more details.

That URL does not have any details about this command replacement.
According to the docs, currentcontext is discouraged, the linked examples on the docs are pointing to 404
https://github.com/strongloop/loopback/blob/master/example/context/app.js

The linked github ticket is huge, not useful at all.

So how can we access current user or mimic another user?

Right now it is done via currentContext and runInContext.

See #3023.

The documentation update is in progress, see loopbackio/loopback.io#227 (or the markdown file here).

@crandmck could you PTAL at the 404 issue?

It looks like example/context/app.js was removed at some point. loopbackio/loopback.io#227 removes this link, so it won't be an issue any longer once that PR is merged.
