Definitions for common OneView concepts.

Terms

Activation code
A one-time value issued with a license and used to bind that license to one eligible installation.

Adapter
Versioned OneView support that integrates one exact vendor service with one Sub-module.

Vendor service One API offering from a provider, such as Prembly BVN Basic. An adapter-backed service belongs to one licensed Sub-module and has its own released adapter version.

Client installation
The OneView software and protected configuration deployed in the client's environment.

Connection
A client's encrypted vendor credentials and configuration for one vendor service, Sub-module, and environment.

Installation identity
A unique identity assigned to one eligible OneView installation.

Lease
The current online license status used to keep an installation active.

License
The commercial entitlement defining Modules, selected Sub-modules, dates, installation count, and capacity.

Module
A licensed OneView product area. It can contain separately licensed Sub-modules or expose its own installed pages. The installed OneView version must support the Module before its navigation group and pages can appear.

Sub-module

A separately licensed function within a Module. For example, BVN and NIN are Sub-modules within KYC. A Sub-module can require a vendor connection, optionally use one, or work without an adapter.

Preferred connection
The active vendor connection selected by default for a Sub-module and environment.

Setup token
A host-local secret used to unlock the protected initial setup session. It is different from an activation code.

Service account

A non-human identity for one client application or environment. It uses a rotatable and revocable API key, may have an expiry, can call supported public integration APIs, and cannot sign in to the dashboard.

Browser session

A revocable human sign-in session. It is not an integration API credential.
