# Creating token exchange generator groups

A token exchange generator group maps requested token types to your token generator instances. You can create multiple token exchange generator groups. If you assign resource URIs to the groups, clients can use the URI in the resource parameter of its requests to specify a group.

## Before you begin

Before you create a token exchange generator group, configure the token generator instances. See [Managing token generators](help_tokengeneratortasklet_tokenpluginmgmtstate.html).

## About this task

In the **Generator Groups** window, create a generator group for a token exchange instance.

## Steps

1. Go to the **Applications > Token Exchange > Generator Groups** window.

2. Click the **Add Generator Group** button.

   The **Token Exchange Generator Group** window opens.

3. On the **Manage Generator Group** tab, enter the group **ID**, **Name**, and enter absolute **Resource URIs**.

4. On the **Requested Token Type Mapping** tab, from the **Token Generator** list, select an instance and enter the **Token Type**. Click **Add**.

5. Repeat step 4 for each type of token that you want the token exchange generator group to handle.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If this is the default token exchange generator group and clients will use the `requested_token_type` parameter to request specific types of tokens, then map all token types that clients can request. |

6. On the **Summary** tab, review the token exchange generator group. Click **Done**.

   The **Generator Groups** window opens.

7. If you want to make the new token exchange generator group the default group, click **Set as Default** in the **Action** column.

8. Click **Save**.
