Partner Access Tokens allow covered entities to authorize third-party Partners to access data through Beacon’s API and SDKs. Partners must complete onboarding with Beacon Support Beacon Support before a covered entity can add them to an entity in Beacon.
What are partner access tokens?
Partner access tokens are unique identifiers issued during Partner onboarding. Covered entities use this token to associate the Partner with their entity and assign the appropriate level of access.
The Access Token does not authenticate API requests. API authentication is completed using a separate Private Token issued directly to the Partner.
Obtaining a partner access token
Partners must complete onboarding with Beacon Support. As part of the onboarding process, Beacon verifies the Partner organization and provides the credentials needed to use the API and SDKs.
Partners receive:
Access Token – Shared with covered entities so they can add the Partner to their entity and assign permissions.
Private Token – A secure credential used by the Partner to authenticate API requests. This token should not be shared with covered entities or other users.
Partners must use both tokens appropriately to complete authorized API and SDK interactions.
Next steps for covered entities
Once a Partner provides their Access Token, an Admin can add the Partner to the applicable covered entity and assign either Read or Read/Write access.
