Is there a way to include userinfo in the cis2 access token response? Or is it required to make a second API request to the /userinfo endpoint?

Hi David, some user information is included in the id\_token, but unfortunately the volume of data for some users prevents us including everything in the token. The recommended approach from the specification is to call userinfo regardless

Thank you I appreciate your response. My personal perspective regards to transparent research service users .Those of us who align with patient researcher safety protocols need to be made more identifiable.We deserve patients protection credits and support.
