What are Preferences & Entitlements?
Preferences and entitlements are features of APIs that allow users to customise their experience and access specific features or content based on their permissions or roles.
-
Preferences: Preferences refer to the customisable settings or options that are available to users through an API. These preferences may include settings such as language preferences, display options, notification preferences, or other personalisation options that enable users to tailor their experience.
-
Entitlements: Entitlements refer to the specific permissions or access levels that are granted to users based on their role or authorisation. Entitlements may include access to certain features or content, such as premium content, restricted data, or other specialised functions. Entitlements help ensure that users only have access to the content and functions that are relevant to their role or authorisation level.
Both preferences and entitlements are important features of APIs that help improve the user experience and enable more customised and personalised interactions. By allowing users to set their own preferences and providing them with specific entitlements based on their role or authorisation level, APIs can offer a more targeted and efficient experience, while also maintaining security and access control.
