Azure API Management - Get JWT from Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key

When calling my API, the consumer uses a token on the "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" that he got when he subscribed to my API. I was wondering how can I retrieve the details of this subscription (pref in a JWT token) and push it to the backend?

How can I relay a JWT to my backend with the information of the subscription provided via the token on the "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" header?

    @Leonardo Ferreira You can access subscription details via context.Subscription in your policy expressions. You could pass these details via custom headers to your backend using the set-header policy or in append them to the body using the set-body policy, whichever way works for you.

    You could leverage policy expressions to package the required data into a JWT Token as well.
