Access token expiration

By default, access tokens expire after 11520 minutes (8 days). If you call the Fides API with an expired token, Fides will respond with a 401 unauthorized response.

To specify a different expiration time (in minutes), set the OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES environment variable, or the oauth_access_token_expire_minutes value in your fides.toml. Read the Configuration Guide to learn more.
