(PowerShell) Docusign Request Impersonation Consent

Demonstrates how to obtain impersonation consent from a Docusign individual user. This is one way of getting consent prior to using the JWT (JSON Web Token) grant flow to obtain access tokens. See the Docusign documentation for Obtaining Consent and JSON Web Token (JWT) Grant for more information.

Important: This example requires that you add a line of code (or a few lines of code) to launch a web browser that navigates to the URL returned by the StartAuth method.
