UserInfo Endpoint

The UserInfo endpoint can be used to retrieve identity information about a user (see spec).

The caller needs to send a valid access token representing the user. Depending on the granted scopes, the UserInfo endpoint will return the mapped claims (at least the openid scope is required).

Example

GET /connect/userinfo
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "sub": "248289761001",
    "name": "Bob Smith",
    "given_name": "Bob",
    "family_name": "Smith",
    "role": [
        "user",
        "admin"
    ]
}

Note

You can use the IdentityModel client library to programmatically access the userinfo endpoint from .NET code. For more information check the IdentityModel docs.
