Generate a token

Generate tokens to pseudonymise or reverse data for an approved request. You must have an approved request within a project to generate tokens. Once your request is approved, you can generate as many tokens as needed — each token authorises one operation.

1. Go to Projects and select View on your project.

   

2. On the left menu, select Tokens, and fill in the token type and pseudonymisation type.
   

   
   • Token type:
     • Pseudonymisation: Pseudonymise original data.
     • Reverse: Restore original data (within retention period).
   • Pseudonymisation type:
     • Primary pseudonymisation: Pseudonymise original data for the first time.
     • Secondary pseudonymisation: Pseudonymise data that has already been pseudonymised.

3. If you selected Secondary pseudonymisation, fill in the two additional fields thats appear:

   • Source project: Select the project where the original pseudonymisation took place.
   • Source organisation: Select the organisation that performed the original pseudonymisation on that source project.
     
     

4. Select Generate token. The generated token appears next to the button.

   

5. Copy and store your token securely.
   

   Tokens are shown only once and expire

   Once you leave or refresh the page, the token cannot be viewed or retrieved again. Copy it immediately and store it in a secure location. Tokens are valid for 3600 seconds (1 hour) from the moment of generation.

   Collaborating with other organisations?

   There is no need to share tokens between collaborating organisations. Each organisation can generate their own tokens independently from their own approved request.
