A method A method and system for managing role-based access control of token data using token profiles is described. In one method, a token processing system (TPS) receives a request from a TPS client over a network to perform an operation on entries of a token database. The TPS identifies a subset of the multiple groups that corresponds to the entries indicated in the request of the TPS client, determines to which of the identified groups the TPS client belongs using token profiles. For each group the TPS client belongs, the TPS determines a corresponding role for the TPS client from the token profiles. For each group the TPS belongs, the TPS allows the TPS client access to the entries of the respective group to perform the operation when the TPS client has the appropriate role assigned within the respective group.
