Token Management

The RMO and Local Authorities make use of mapping services provided by PMS.

Security tokens for the 3rd party mapping applications provided by Compass can be generated using the Token Management module within PMS. This Module allows tokens to be both created and rescinded.

Security tokens are generated instead of requiring 3rd party systems to provide a username and password to each user to improve security and performance.

  • Valid To - Defines the validity for the issued Token, the Validity is defined by default to the Maximum of 3 months

  • Is Permanent? - Defines if the Token is defined as Permanent, i.e. the token will not expire
