Users

All users who have initiated the account linking process with at least one data provider account is related to a specific tenant, identified by the API key and secret used while creating their Smile record.

A token for the user is issued at the same time, and may be renewed through the GET /tokens endpoint.

Users may have one or multiple Accounts connected to their user record.

Once users revoke their accounts (via the SDK, or tenants may initiate this process through the Revoke Account API), their data will be removed and will no longer be accessible.
