How to become an issuer?
What issuers can do
Operating an issuer
There are different ways to operate an issuer:
Manually through our Issuer Portal: Allows you to do all the same actions listed in "How to become an issuer? . Create an account for free today.
Or using TNG Identity Issuer’s API, which allows you to manage issue credentials and establish connections with holders and verifiers programatically.
What can issues do?
In the issuance of a Verifiable Credential (VC), issuers may conduct their own identity verification and validation steps before proceeding with issuance. Some issuers choose to independently verify the identity of subjects to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the credentials they issue.
Issuers can easily participate in the credential issuance process by signing up on the TNG Platform or accessing our Issuer API. The platform offers a user-friendly interface, that helps issuers to create, revoke and maange Reusable Digital credentials.
TNG Issuer ensures issuers to have control over the entire lifecycle of credentials and user management roles and permission inside the portal, including:
Credentials in the Issuer Portal
Issue a credential
Create and sign a new Verifiable Credential from a template for a specific subject/holder.
Assign values to claims
Fill in the credential’s data fields (claims) before issuance—manually or via import/API.
Add expiration date
Set when the credential becomes invalid; used during verification and for reminders.
Revoke a credential
Mark the credential as no longer valid so future verifications fail (optionally record a reason).
Present a credential (for claiming)
Generate a QR code or link so the subject can claim the credential into their wallet.
Send a credential via email (for claiming)
Email the subject a claim link/QR to retrieve the credential into their wallet.
Assign an image to a credential template
Attach a default image/logo to the template; shown in the portals and in the holder’s wallet.
Review credential history
View the audit trail of events (issued, claimed, revoked, updated) for that credential.
Review credential information
Open the detail view with all claims and metadata, including current status and subject.
User Management in the Issuer Portal
Invite a user to the Issuer Portal
Send an invitation email with a link for the person to join your organisation’s Issuer Portal, choosing their initial role.
Assign a role to the user
Set the user’s permissions (e.g., Viewer, Issuer, Admin) for your organisation/environment.
Upgrade role of the user
Increase the user’s permission level to grant more capabilities.
Downgrade role of the user
Reduce the user’s permission level to limit capabilities; the account remains active.
Delete the user
Remove the user from the organisation and revoke their access to the Issuer Portal (audit trail is kept).
