+### Learning Only Users
+
+The SuccessFactors Learning OAuth token server is deprecated. Instead, you can use the SuccessFactors Platform token server to generate OAuth tokens even if the user does not exist in Employee Profile or Employee Central, a so-called learning-only user. For this use-case, use the `-l` or `--learningOnly` argument.
