Introduction

Clients are the entry points of your LRS. They define the endpoints, credentials and permissions for each external application which needs to interact with the LRS APIs. A client always belongs to a store, so you need to define at the minimum 1 client per store. You may define several clients per store, especially if you have several sources of data for each store.

Managing clients

You can create, modify and delete clients from the Access > Clients page.

For each client, you have to define:

• A name
• A slug which is like a unique short name used in URLs (not modifiable)
• The store the client belongs to
• A guard which is the authentication method to be used used by the external application
• A username and password for this authentication method
• The CORS restrictions if the external application needs to call the APIs directly from the browser
• The permissions granted to the external application
• The xAPI pipeline options to be applied
