I'm new to DNN development.  I'm been working on access my DNN site through JWT Authentication.  I'm able to get this working fine. My issue is that is returns a display name (and accessToken and renewlToken).  How do I use this info to retrieve the userid of the logged in user?  Most of web services take a userid as a parameter. I'm not sure if when I sent the accessToken this somehow create the user info. If so how would I return it? This is my first post. Thanks in advanced!!

In general, WebAPIs should never use UserId passed as parameter. It should read from the Context. Find all WebAPI related articles here: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/articletype/authorview/authorid/813736
