To have clear auditing & logging for RestAPI related actions

This idea is related to have a clearing auditing and logging for  any action taken using restapi either through swagger or by calling the restapi through a script. Right now there is no distinction from where the action is being performed. This idea will help all the people using IWS manage the restapi related activities in a better way.

    To address this requirement, the recommended approach is to leverage the existing justification fields in the request headers. This allows you to clearly identify the source of the call:

    For REST API requests (e.g., via Swagger or Postman), include a header field such as:
    category: REST CALL

    For DWC operations, use a different value, for example:
    from: DWC

    This method ensures that audit records can be filtered or reported based on the source of the action without requiring changes to the engine or audit mechanism.

    Additionally, please note that the Swagger interface is not fully up to date and is a demo environment that help to use the REST API capability. For REST API testing and execution, we recommend using Postman or similar tools for better compatibility.
