Note that mode takes precedence on each of the listed options. Example: If mode is set to systemcam and parameter systemcam is set to false, the user will get access to System Camera.

If you want to increase the token duration, you can do so by overriding the value of the custom label, MobileTokenExpiryDays, available in the SharinPix package to specify your desired number of days before the tokens expire for the Mobile Launcher component.
