What are access rights and how are they created?

Prev Next

Preliminary Remarks

Access rights represent the authorizations that grant a customer access to the services they have purchased. Access rights are therefore used to control which services are activated for the customer via an offer in the Merchant Backend.

Access rights are a necessary component for offers within the Merchant Backend.  


Create access rights

The following mandatory fields are required to create an access right:

1. Title: Used for internal assignment.

2. Access right (uniqueID):   The UniqueId may only be assigned once for an access right, as this ID is used to activate a predefined authorization for the customer.

Optional fields:

3. Additional data for third-party systems

4. Description for the access right

Example:

Customers are offered exclusive articles on a website as well as access to the electronic edition of magazine. For this purpose, the access rights Articles and Issues, which can be assigned to different offers
, are created.     

Three offers can be flexibly created from these two access rights:

Offer 1: Access to exclusive articles on a website, through access right article 
Offer 2: Access to the electronic edition of a magazine, through access right issues 
Offer 3: Combination package of offer 1 and offer 2, through both access rights
