Commando Mode Addendum

This page shows you how to create and update Commando Mode control sets using the POST /commandomodes, PUT /commandomodes/{token}, and POST /commandomodes/transitions operations. For other reference documentation on working with Commando Mode control sets, see Commando Mode.

Note
You must be a Powered By Marqeta (PxM) customer with the Program Manager role enabled to send calls to the POST /commandomodes, PUT /commandomodes/{token}, and POST /commandomodes/transitions operations. Managed by Marqeta (MxM) customers who do not have the Program Manager role enabled cannot access these endpoints.For more information about MxM and PxM programs, see Understanding Card Program Differences.

Create Commando Mode control set

Action: POST
Endpoint: /commandomodes Create a Commando Mode control set to define the conditions that programmatically enable Commando Mode and what happens when Commando Mode is enabled. When enabled, Commando Mode switches your program gateway funding source to a non-gateway program funding source and enables any authorization or velocity controls you specify. Commando Mode control sets are associated with program gateway funding sources. Each program gateway funding source can have a single associated commandomode object.

Note
The conditions for automatically enabling Commando Mode defined in the real_time_standin_criteria object function whether the Commando Mode is enabled or disabled. For example, if real_time_standin_criteria.enabled and real_time_standin_criteria.include_connection_errors are both true, a connection error will enable Commando Mode whether current_state.commando_enabled is true or false.

Body field details

Fields	Description
token string Optional	The unique identifier of the Commando Mode control set. If you do not include a token, the system will generate one automatically. This token is necessary for use in other API calls, so we recommend that rather than let the system generate one, you use a simple string that is easy to remember. This value cannot be updated. Allowable Values: 36 char max
program_gateway_funding_source_token string Required	The unique identifier of the associated program gateway funding source. Allowable Values: Existing program gateway funding source token.
commando_mode_enables object Required	Defines what happens when Commando Mode is enabled. Allowable Values: Existing `commando_mode_enables` object.
real_time_standin_criteria object Optional	Specifies which event types automatically enable Commando Mode. Allowable Values: Existing `real_time_standin_criteria` object.

The commando_mode_enables object

Fields	Description
program_funding_source string Required	The unique identifier of the program funding source that substitutes for the program gateway funding source while in Commando Mode. Allowable Values: 36 char max
velocity_controls array Optional	The velocity controls enabled while in Commando Mode. Allowable Values: One or more existing velocity control tokens.
auth_controls array Optional	The authorization controls enabled while in Commando Mode. Allowable Values: One or more existing authorization control tokens.
ignore_card_suspended_state boolean Optional	If `true`, transactions conducted while in Commando Mode proceed even when the card is suspended; if `false`, transactions conducted while Commando Mode is enabled are declined if the card is suspended. Allowable Values: `true`, `false` Default value: `false`

The real_time_standin_criteria object

Fields	Description
enabled boolean Optional	If `true`, Commando Mode is automatically enabled by events defined in the `real_time_standin_criteria` object; if `false`, Auto Commando Mode is not enabled. Allowable Values: `true`, `false` Default value: `false`
include_connection_errors boolean Optional	If `true`, a non-timeout connection error automatically enables Commando Mode when `real_time_standin_criteria.enabled` is also `true`. Allowable Values: `true`, `false` Default value: `true`
include_response_timeouts boolean Optional	If `true`, a gateway response slower than 3000ms automatically enables Commando Mode when `real_time_standin_criteria.enabled` is also `true`. Allowable Values: `true`, `false` Default value: `true`
include_application_errors boolean Optional	If `true`, an application error (any non-connection, non-timeout error) automatically enables Commando Mode when `real_time_standin_criteria.enabled` is also `true`. Allowable Values: `true`, `false` Default value: `false`

The current_state object (response)

The Marqeta platform returns the current_state object of the Commando Mode control set in the response.

Name	Description	Allowable Values
commando_enabled	Indicates whether Commando Mode is enabled.	`true`, `false`
reason	Describes the reason the current state of the Commando Mode control set was changed.
channel	The mechanism that changed the Commando Mode control set’s state.	`API`, `SYSTEM`, `ADMIN`
user_name	Identifies the user who changed the Commando Mode control set’s state.
