Understanding frappe.flags.ignore_permissions

How does frappe.flags.ignore_permissions works? I am trying to generate Payment Entry

from erpnext.accounts.doctype.payment_entry.payment_entry import get_payment_entry

payment_entry = get_payment_entry("Sales Invoice", sales_invoice.name).as_dict()

I get frappe.exceptions.PermissionError. For some reason it used to work before. As in days ago. And I did not update any version.

UPDATE 1: I can also use frappe.set_user("Administrator")

          @frappe.whitelist()
          def get_payment_entry(
          	dt,
          	dn,
          	party_amount=None,
          	bank_account=None,
          	bank_amount=None,
          	party_type=None,
          	payment_type=None,
          	reference_date=None,
          	ignore_permissions=False,
          	created_from_payment_request=False,
          ):
          	doc = frappe.get_doc(dt, dn)
          	over_billing_allowance = frappe.db.get_single_value("Accounts Settings", "over_billing_allowance")
          	if dt in ("Sales Order", "Purchase Order") and flt(doc.per_billed, 2) >= (100.0 + over_billing_allowance):
          		frappe.throw(_("Can only make payment against unbilled {0}").format(_(dt)))
          
          	if not party_type:
          		party_type = set_party_type(dt)

Update your app and pass the ignore_permissions=True argument when calling the function.
