Don't impersonate user with CloudClient #82

I'm using the CloudClient in an Android application. When I try to add something to a user's feed I get "Don't impersonate user" with this code:

        client = CloudClient
            .builder(credentials.apiKey, credentials.token, "jeff")
            .build()
        val feed = client.flatFeed("user")
        feed.addActivity(
            Activity
                .builder()
                .actor("jeff")
                .verb("post")
                .`object`(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
                .extraField("message", message)
                .build()
        ).join()

However, it seems to work fine if I prefix the user with SU: like so:

        client = CloudClient
            .builder(credentials.apiKey, credentials.token, "jeff")
            .build()
        val feed = client.flatFeed("user")
        feed.addActivity(
            Activity
                .builder()
                .actor("SU:jeff")
                .verb("post")
                .`object`(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
                .extraField("message", message)
                .build()
        ).join()

With the other libraries (Swift/JS/etc.) I don't have to do this. Am I doing something wrong? What's the significance of SU?

Thanks!
