Hi, during bootstrap, how do I programmatically bypass the interactive authentication once my credentials are out of date. For jobs that users run on the farm, this will prob trip them up. Please see error below:

Hi @Nik

I would suggest not using user credentials personally and using script authentication instead.

If I use script authentication, is it still possible to publish as the user from maya via toolkit?

Yes, just get their HumanUser entity, and set it in the created_by field of the publish.
