Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.

service_token_roles¶

Type: list
Default: ['service']

A choice of roles that must be present in a service token. Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token.

action_plan_expiry¶

Type: integer

These weights are used to schedule the actions
