Any user associated with a context with AUTHENTICATED scope can execute createPost mutation. The current API user will be set as an author. A content such as a learning path or a certificate can be shared. If the provided content doesn’t relate to the current API user, it will be skipped, and a post will be created only with the text. Mutation has a single required incoming argument - data that represents PostCreationInput object:
