What are Access Token Definitions?

Access Token Definitions are used to control the creation of Access Tokens, by defining the policies governing the format of the Access Token User Identifier, Pass Code and Authentication Code.  You can define whether Access Tokens can be created without an Identifier and Pass Code or deactivated when their last entity association (Rewards Participant or Accounts Receivable) is removed. 
Additional settings relating to Access Tokens may also be defined, concerning Accounts Receivable and Rewards Participants, as well as Communication (Access Tokens can be automatically communicated to customers once 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 to see more detail. 
  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Definition, modify (EDIT), or DELETE an existing one.  
  • Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Definition. 

Check the Validations & Restrictions Table below for a list of available Actions when working with Access Token Definitions, including each Action's related validations and restrictions.   View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of the Access Token Definitions fields.
