# Account Access Consents - v3.1.8

# Overview

The Account Access Consents API is used by an AISP to request an ASPSP to create a new account-access-consent resource, retrieve the status of account-access-consent resource and delete the account-access-consent resource.

This resource description should be read in conjunction with a compatible Account Information Services API Profile.

# Endpoints

Resource HTTP Operation Endpoint Mandatory? Scope Grant Type Idempotency Key Parameters Request Object Response Object
1 account-access-consents POST POST /account-access-consents Mandatory accounts Client Credentials No OBReadConsent1 OBReadConsentResponse1
2 account-access-consents GET GET /account-access-consents/{ConsentId} Mandatory accounts Client Credentials No OBReadConsentResponse1
3 account-access-consents DELETE DELETE /account-access-consents/{ConsentId} Mandatory accounts Client Credentials No

# POST /account-access-consents

The API allows the AISP to ask an ASPSP to create a new account-access-consent resource.

  • This API effectively allows the AISP to send a copy of the consent to the ASPSP to authorise access to account and transaction information.
  • An AISP is not able to pre-select a set of accounts for account-access-consent authorisation. This is because the behaviour of the pre-selected accounts, after authorisation, is not clear from a Legal perspective.
  • An ASPSP creates the account-access-consent resource and responds with a unique ConsentId to refer to the resource.
  • Prior to calling the API, the AISP must have an access token issued by the ASPSP using a client credentials grant.

The PSU must authenticate with the ASPSP and authorise the account-access-consent for the account-access-consent to be successfully setup. The account-access-consent resource that is created successfully must have the following Status code-list enumeration:

Status Status Description
1 AwaitingAuthorisation The account access consent is awaiting authorisation.

After authorisation has taken place the account-access-consent resource may have these following statuses.

Status Status Description
1 Rejected The account access consent has been rejected.
2 Authorised The account access consent has been successfully authorised.
3 Revoked The account access consent has been revoked via the ASPSP interface. This status is not applicable for the resource created after Ver 3.1.4.

# Status Flow

This is the state diagram for the Status.

 Consent Authorisation.jpg

# GET /account-access-consents/{ConsentId}

An AISP may optionally retrieve an account-access-consent resource that they have created to check its status.

Prior to calling the API, the AISP must have an access token issued by the ASPSP using a client credentials grant.

The usage of this API endpoint will be subject to an ASPSP's fair usage policies.

Once the PSU authorises the account-access-consent resource - the Status of the account-access-consent resource will be updated with "Authorised".

The available Status code-list enumerations for the account-access-consent resource are:

Status Status Description
1 Rejected The account access consent has been rejected.
2 AwaitingAuthorisation The account access consent is awaiting authorisation.
3 Authorised The account access consent has been successfully authorised.
4 Revoked The account access consent has been revoked via the ASPSP interface. This status is not applicable for the resource created after Ver 3.1.4.

# DELETE /account-access-consents/{ConsentId}

If the PSU revokes consent to data access with the AISP, the AISP must delete the account-access-consent resource with the ASPSP as soon as is practically possible.

  • This is done by making a call to DELETE the account-access-consent resource.
  • Prior to calling the API, the AISP must have an access token issued by the ASPSP using a client credentials grant.

TPP should also clear the Account Access Consent resources, from ASPSP's system, which are:

  • Expired, i.e. ExpirationDateTime is lapsed, or ExpirationDateTime is not lapsed, but PSU doesn't want to refresh/re-authenticate it, and
  • Consent Resource may never be referenced by the PSU in AISP or ASPSP domain.

The DELETE /account-access-consents call allows an AISP to delete a previously created account-access-consent (whether it is currently authorised or not). The PSU may want to remove their consent via the AISP instead of revoking authorisation with the ASPSP.

This API call allows the PSU to revoke consent with the AISP, and for that consent to be reflected in authorisation with the ASPSP.
