perk it's an object to make a REST call with Administrator permissions on behalf of the user viewing the component. This call essentially bypasses permission checks for the current user.
From your code, it looks like you call the 'settings' API method to retrieve the value of the field 'custom_zendesk.username' and assign it to a variable called 'username':
<#assign username = restadmin("/settings/name/custom_zendesk.username").value />

- Thanks! How may I know what other variables exist in /settings/name/ ? Is there a list I can access somewhere?
