Consent Types
Overview
The data that your Application can retrieve from an Account Servicer is all dependent on consentTypes.
What is a ConsentType?
A consentType is a particular scope that represents the data attributes you are asking your End-User to consent to sharing with you. This can be configured against your Application on the consent page in the Developer Portal.
ConsentTypes can be configured via the Consents page on the Developer Portal
