What are Access Token Definitions?

Access Token Definitions are used to control the creation of access tokens, by defining policies around the format of the access token user identifier, pass code and authentication code.You can define whether you would like to create your access tokens without an identifier and pass code or whether an access token should be deactivated on removing the last entity association from the token. (i.e. removing the association between the access token and a rewards participant or an accounts receivable.) 
Additionally settings related to Accounts Receivable and Rewards Participants, with relation to access tokens may be defined, as well as communication settings that allow access tokens to be automatically communicated to your customers once they are created.

Only definitions with an Effective Life Cycle State are applicable The life cycle state can be changed between Effective and Not Effective using a dedicated action

Navigate to Access Token Definitions and explore existing records via the Summary page. Click on the link (name or number) of the record of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and have a better look of the available information. Use the Actions Menu to create a new (NEW) definition, modify (EDIT) or delete (DELETE) an existing one. Use the (BACK) link to go back to the summary page and (CANCEL) to cancel any unwanted changes made to the definition. Check out the attributes table below for a thorough explanation of the information kept for Access Token Definition and the Validations&Restrictions table to find out validations and restrictions applicable when working with the definitions.
