Access Using JWT

1. 1. 1. Tutorial

DreamFactory 2.0 APIs can be consumed with just a JWT (token) from an authenticated session. JWT from an admin user's session will allow full access to the system. Non-admin users cannot consume any protected APIs using just a JWT. He/she will also require an API Key and their access will be limited by the role assigned to them for the application of the API key being used.
