When a user authenticates successfully in a Backend Services app, the server will return a Result that holds three components:
- "access_token" - the token for authenticating the current user.
- "token_type" - the type of the token.
- "principal_id" - the Id of the authenticated user.
The way of authorizing subsequent requests to the REST API on behalf of the currently logged user is to pass the following authorization header containing the access token:
"Authorization" : "Bearer <access-token-here>"Once the administrator is logged in the application he/she can create new user accounts by making requests to
https://api.everlive.com/v1/your-api-key-here/Users',with the aforementioned authorization header.
Please, let us know if this works for you.
