Two options:

1) Call the existing method, cast the result to OkObjectResult, and cast the Value property to a string:

C#

IActionResult tokenResult = GetToken(username, password);
OkObjectResult okResult = (OkObjectResult)tokenResult;
user.AccessToken = (string)okResult.Value;

OkObjectResult(Object) Class (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc) | Microsoft Docs[^]

2) Refactor the GetToken action to call another method which returns the token string, and call that method:

C#

private string GetTokenCore(string user, string password)
{
    var jwt = new JwtToken();
    ...
    string token = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(retval);
    return token;
}

[AllowAnonymous]
[HttpGet("GetToken")]
public IActionResult GetToken(string user, string password)
{
    return Ok(GetTokenCore(user, password));
}

[HttpPost(Contracts.ApiRoutes.Login.UserLogin)]
public  IActionResult PostUserLogins([FromBody]Users user)
{
    ...
    user.AccessToken = GetTokenCore(username, password);
    ...
}
