Create implicit Customer for each Administrator

[michaelbromley]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If logged in as an Administrator, then the activeCustomer query will return a "fake" Customer entity with an invalid ID. In general, using the Shop API when logged in as an Administrator results in buggy behaviour.

Describe the solution you'd like When an Administrator is created, a corresponding Customer should also be created pointing to the same User. This will allow the Shop API to behave correctly even when logged in as an Administrator.

The current fake Customer will map to a real customer (the first customer will get id '1').

What is the reason behind the need of customer for an administrator. I would not let any administrator to use the webshop.

For me this comes up quite frequently in development. I am logged into the Admin UI, and in the same browser I visit my storefront, and appear to be logged in as a Customer due to the existing auth cookie. I instead need to then visit my storefront in a different browser / private tab.

The issue is that it's more of an annoyance and probable source of confusion/frustration to other developers.

Can not reproduce:

• Logged in to the admin, copied auth token header
• Called the me query in the shop API, this returned the admin
• Called the activeCustomer query in the shop-api, this returned null
