Hello @ihor.fedoryshyn ,
If you require to authenticate, both AuthenticationContext and UsersContext work, and you can:
var authenticationContext = ContextHelper.CreateAuthenticationContext(false);
Status.Notify(authenticationContext, null, "RequestToken", MethodType.Operation, Publish.Secondary
var sessionToken = authenticationContext.SessionToken;
UsersContext additionally it includes User preferences handling capabilities:
[GeneratedCode("Microsoft.OData.Client.Design.T4", "1.0.0")]
public IDssQueryable<UserClaim> UserClaims { get; }
[GeneratedCode("Microsoft.OData.Client.Design.T4", "1.0.0")]
public IDssQueryable<UserPreference> UserPreferences { get; }
[GeneratedCode("Microsoft.OData.Client.Design.T4", "1.0.0")]
public IDssQueryable<User> Users { get; }
public IUserClaimOperations UserClaimOperations { get; }
public IUserClaimOperationsAsync UserClaimOperationsAsync { get; }
public IUserPreferenceOperations UserPreferenceOperations { get; }
public IUserPreferenceOperationsAsync UserPreferenceOperationsAsync { get; }
public IUserOperations UserOperations { get; }
public IUserOperationsAsync UserOperationsAsync { get; }
For example:
var UsersContext = new UsersContext(new Uri("https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/"), "<your user id>", "<your password>");
//Fetch the user preferences
var userPreferences = UsersContext.UserPreferenceOperations.GetAll().First();
//Make changes
userPreferences.ContentSettings.PartialEmbargoedReportsEnabled = false;
UsersContext.UserPreferenceOperations.Update(userPreferences);
For illustrative examples of usage, see Refinitiv DSS C# Example Application -> section "User Examples",
