Read time 2 minutesLast updated 2 days ago
The payload is a base64url-encoded JSON object that contains the claims asserted by the token. You can list claims in the payload in any order. The following table details the claims that you can use in a token. For more information on which parameters are required for each token, see Access token examples.
Unity Authentication IDs within payloads
If your application is using Unity Authentication Service to authenticate players, you can use the UAS ID within a Vivox access token to ensure proper player identity. SIP URIs, which are used to identify players, must be in the proper format to ensure that the player ID is parsed from the full SIP URI. This format is mandatory for using any Unity Moderation service with VATs. The following is an example of the expected SIP format:Note: It's thesip:.issuer.unity_player_id.unity_environment_id.@domain.vivox.com
