Description
Using Redmine Java API library:
User user = rmf.getUserManager.getCurrentuser;
user.setFirstName("new name");
rmf.getUserManager.update(user);
Error: BadAuthentication.
I believe this is because Redmine requires authorization for "update user" action, which requires admin privileges.
What it should do instead is to check permissions basing on resources. In this example user should be able to change his/her own details.
