# Unleash Context In order to standardise a few activation strategies we also needed to standardise a unleash context, which contains some fields that varies per requests, needed to implement the activation strategies. The unleash context is defined by these fields: - userId: String, - sessionId: String, - remoteAddress: String, - properties: Map All fields are optional, but if they are not set you will not be able to use certain activation strategies. E.g. the userWithId-strategy obviously depends on the userId field. The properties field is more generic and can be used to probide more abritary data to the strategies. A common usage is to add more metadata, e.g. that the current user is a beta user, and thus the betaUser-strategy will use this info in its implementation.
