Additional Actions for Access Tokens

Updating the Life Cycle State of Access Tokens 

The Life Cycle State of an Access Token indicates whether the Access Token is 'Active' or not. (i.e.Customers can use their Access Tokens to authenticate themselves in CRM.COM as long as their Access Token is 'Effective').  The Life Cycle State can be set to either 'Effective' or 'Not Effective' according to its current Life Cycle State. and this is accomplished in 2 ways:

  • Manually (By the user)
  • Automatically (by the System), if so defined in the Access Token Definition and in the following cases:
    • On removing an Access Token from an Accounts Receivable
    • On removing an Access Token from a Rewards Participant
    • On Terminating an Accounts Receivable
