domain: imsglobal.org · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. During the LTI 1.3 launch, extract the context_memberships_url from the https://purl.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-nrps/claim/namesroleservice claim in the id_token JWT
  2. Use the client_id and platform OIDC token endpoint to request a service access token with scope https://purl.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-nrps/scope/contextmembership.readonly
  3. GET the context_memberships_url with Authorization: Bearer {token} and Accept: application/vnd.ims.lti-nrps.v2.membershipcontainer+json
  4. Parse the members array in the response; each member includes user_id, roles (Learner, Instructor, etc.), and optionally name and email if permitted
  5. Follow the Link: rel=next header if present to page through rosters larger than the platform's default page size
  6. Cache the roster keyed by user_id and refresh on a scheduled basis or on each new tool launch for that context
