For security purposes, session Id is required when there is user specific interaction. For example when you are uploading a file of a user then you need to pass session id of that user. Below is the code snippet which explains better:

uploadService:setSessionId("SessionId of Nick");
uploadService:uploadFileForUser("Name of File","Nick","File Path",UploadFileType.IMAGE,"Description",callBack)
function callBack:onSuccess(object)
   print("fileName is :".. object:getFileList():getName());
   print("UserName is :".. object:getFileList():getUserName());
   print("Type is :".. object:getFileList():getType());     
   print("Url is :".. object:getFileList():getUrl());  
   print("Description is: ".. object:getFileList():getDescription());  
end  
function callBack:onException(object)
    print("Message is "..object:getMessage());
    print("Message details is "..object:getDetails());
end
 
In case Admin is uploading a file, you need to setAdminKey in upload service instance. Below is the code snippet:
 
local fileName = "<Your_file_name>";
local description = "File Description";    
local filePath = "Your Local File Path";
local fileType = "<Your_file_type>";
local App42CallBack = {}
uploadService:setAdminKey("Admin Key of App")
uploadService:uploadFile(fileName,filePath ,fileType,description,App42CallBack)
function App42CallBack:onSuccess(object)   
            print("fileName is :".. object:getFileList():getName());
            print("Type is :".. object:getFileList():getType());     
            print("Url is :".. object:getFileList():getUrl());  
            print("fileDescription is: ".. object:getFileList():getDescription());         
end  
function App42CallBack:onException(object)
            print("Message is "..object:getAppErrorCode());
            print("Message is "..object:getHttpErrorCode());
            print("Message is "..object:getMessage());
            print("Message is "..object:getDetails());
end

If file is owned by a user, it is user file. For example profile photo of user. If file is app file, it is admin file. For example assets file for app or header image of app.
