for the same information that is described by the `user.realm`,
`user.run_by.realm` and `authentication.type` attributes.
`user.name` :: The name of the _effective_ user. This is usually the
same as the _authenticated_ user, but if using the

If authenticated using an API key, this is
the name of the API key owner.

belongs. If authenticated using an API key, this is

using the <<run-as-privilege, run as authorization functionality>>
and denotes the name of the _authenticated_ user,
which is also known as the _impersonator_.
`user.run_by.realm` :: Name of the realm to which the _authenticated_
(_impersonator_) user belongs.
This attribute is provided only if the request
uses the <<run-as-privilege, run as authorization functionality>>.

Possible values are `REALM`, `API_KEY`, `TOKEN`, `ANONYMOUS` or `INTERNAL`.
