    Hi team, can we force log in a user via API call if that user is offline?

    Hello Nitin, no, you cannot log a user in forcibly. Users must complete an OAuth flow to authorize an application.

    Thanks, Tim for the update.

    BTW, any road map to bring this feature in?

    No, and it's unlikely that would ever be added. An OAuth flow cannot be completed for a user without the user being present to complete the flow. The only exception is a SAML2 Bearer flow, which yields to the 3rd party auth service to interact with the user in whatever way it deems necessary to authenticate them.
