# Issuing Refresh Token

> Configuring Authlete service and clients to enable issuing a refresh token including adding REFRESH_TOKEN to Supported Grant Types and Grant Types settings in both Service Owner and Developer Consoles.

<Note>
  This page is for **Authlete 2.x**. For current (3.0) documentation, see [this page](/configuration-reference/tokens-and-claims/how-to-enable-issuing-of-a-refresh-token).
</Note>

In order to include a refresh token in a response from [POST /auth/token](/api-reference/token-endpoint/process-token-request), you have to configure both Authlete service and its clients.

If not configured, Refresh Token Grant Type (grant\_type=refresh\_token) is disabled. Issuing of a refresh token for other grant types such as Authorization Code Grant Type (grant\_type=authorization\_code) is also omitted.

## Authlete service settings

Add "REFRESH\_TOKEN" to Supported Grant Types. The settings can be found under Authorization tab in Service Owner Console.
