An EscalatedServiceContext is used to strongly-type mark methods that require privilege escalation.

Privilege Escalation means the actor will use the grantor's roles to execute a service or DAO call.

Note that this privilege escalation is only to grant access to execute the API method; the actual user's credentials are still used internally when checking access to a backend object.
