Given that you trust yourself ;), you can add a security context from within the second thread; you could pass the user ID to the thread via one of several forms of "currying", e.g. via instance variables::
I'm not sure if I trust myself in real life, but in this case I do. :) Your code below did not work for me because I could not find the newSecurityContext method. However, I was able to use the SecurityManagement.newSecurityManager instead, and that worked great. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
class TrustedSecurityTask:
def __init__(self, user_id): self._user_id = user_id
def __call__(self, *args, **kw): sm = getSecurityManager() sm.newSecurityContext(None, User(self._user_id)) # your code here .....
thread = Thread(TrustedSecurityTask(user_id)) thread.start()
