Provides a direct authenticated link to a particular e-learning
This uses the same endpoint as User - Get Authentication, except the endpoint takes a couple of extra parameters context and context_id.
Once a link has been generated, the link can be presented to the user to click on, and the user will be directed straight to the e-learning without requiring to log in to the portal first.
Request
- HTTP Verb: GET
- URI: /user/{id}/authentication?context=e-learning&context_id={e-learning_id}
Query Parameters
- id: user identifier. It could be either user id or user email.
- e-learning_id: e-learning identifier.
Response Properties
| accessLink | link that may be used to access the e-learning |
|---|---|

| expiration | time limit for the authentication token. After that time the token becomes invalid |
