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 authorization contexts resource family provides associates with the authorization to stores and accounts. An authorization context contains an authorization profile that represents the account that an associate might be authorized to access. For example, you can use an authorization context, such as login to a store, to complete a shopping flow.
