/**
 * The ServiceUserMapper service can be used to map a service
 * provided by a bundle to the ID of a user account used to access the
 * ResourceResolver used by the service to access its data.
 * 
 * The goal of this service is to allow services to be implemented accessing the
 * storage with service-specific accounts which are tailored to allow the
 * service appropriate access without requiring administrative level access to
 * the storage.
 * 

 * In general a service is implement in a single bundle such as the JSP compiler
 * bundle. Other services may be implemented in multiple bundles. In certain
 * cases there may be sub-services requiring different access levels. For
 * example a couple of bundles may implement a "mail" service where each bundle
 * implements a part of the service such as the "smtp", "queuing", and
 * "delivery" sub services. Such sub services are identified with the
 * {@code subServiceName} parameter on the method calls.
 * 

 * In addition to allowing to phase out the use of
 * {@code ResourceResolver.getAdministrativeResourceResolver} and
 * {@code SlingRepository.loginAdministrative} it also allows to better account
 * for changes to the storage by the different services.
 * 

 * This service is not intended to be used by the general user but by
 * implementations of the {@code ResourceResolverFactory} and
 * {@code SlingRepository} services.
 * 
 * This service is not intended to be implemented by clients.
