**As** an Openproject Administrator
**I want to** author field to be settable from the api
**so that** i can create bulk work packages with custom authors.
**Acceptance criteria**
* **API Ability**: The "author" field can be set via the API to allow bulk creation of work packages with custom authors.
* This ability is restricted to the API credentials of global administrators
* **Updated API Documentation**: Ensure the OpenProject API documentation reflects the new capability to specify the author of a work package.
I am writing different scripts to migrate from jira to openproject and want the author to be the same user as in the source data.
A dirty hack would be to get api keys from all the users (what would be reaaally unsafe)
