  • Before starting the tutorial, it's important to note that a valid authorization is required to use some features.

  • Since we're in the development environment, the correct authorization depends on where is runing the Scopes Manager service, on console: c025ff8502893fc6c5a87cf3febe4882 or docker: bluejay-scopes-private-key

  • How to add the authorization?

First of all, being on the TPA Manager, you must navigate to the Create Course page. You can do this by clicking on the New Course button.
