This microservice is responsible for managing consumers and their associated data. It is a part of the WISdoM OSS project. It uses the microservice template for the WISdoM OSS project.
The service is included in every WISdoM OSS deployment by default and does not require the user to do anything.
The documentation for the API can be found in the openapi.yaml file.
The following diagram shows the request flow of the service.

Since the service is usually deployed behind an API gateway which authenticates the user, the service does reject all requests which do not contain the
X-Authenticated-Groups
andX-Authenticated-User
header.You need to set those headers manually when testing the service locally.
