Authorizationcontexts
note
Account Management API is now deprecated and we recommend that you use Account Management functionality built into Elastic Path Commerce 8.2 and later.
The authorizationcontexts resource family provides associates the means to be able to view and access the stores and accounts they can login for. Authorization context is the context which the associate would login from, for example the store. Authorization profile is the profile which the associate logs in on behalf of, for example the account.
