• type (required): Used to differentiate between different Compact/Compact Semantic Credential configurations on your tenant. Thus, its value must:

  • Be unique across all Compact/Compact Semantic Credential configurations on your tenant.

  • Not be VerifiableCredential.

• claimMappings: This is where you specify how to map claims (user attributes) into issued credentials. Each field in the object corresponds to a claim in the issued credential, and contains one or more from the following attributes:

  • mapFrom: References the path in the user object where the claim is available.

    • When using a URL as a claims namespace identifier, use bracket notation to access the claim value (e.g. mapFrom: "claims['https://example.com/claim-name']").

    • mapFrom is optional when defaultValue is provided, as the latter will be used for all issued credentials. This is referred to as a static claim.

  • defaultValue: Indicates what value is used if required is set to false (field is optional) and no value is provided by the claims source. When defaultValue is provided, mapFrom is optional.

  • required: Indicates whether the claim is required (default: false). When a required claim cannot be retrieved and no defaultValue is available, credential issuance will fail.

  Refer to Credential configuration claims to learn more about how this object is created and handled.

• revocable: When set to true (default), the created credential can later be revoked. When set to false, the credential cannot be revoked.

• claimSourceId (optional): References the unique identifier of a claims source that can be used to retrieve claims and include them in the issued credential.

• expiresIn (optional): Used to determine when will issued credentials expire. Can include any combination of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
