Simulates that the next attempt to scan a [credential](/low-level-apis/access-systems/managing-credentials) using the specified [encoder](/low-level-apis/access-systems/working-with-card-encoders-and-scanners) will succeed. You can only perform this action within a [sandbox workspace](/core-concepts/workspaces#sandbox-workspaces).

## Request body

- union
  - object
    - `acs_credential_id_on_seam` string, uuid: ID of the Seam `acs_credential` that matches the `acs_credential` on the encoder in this simulation.
    - `acs_encoder_id` string, uuid, required: ID of the `acs_encoder` that will be used in the next request to scan the `acs_credential`.
    - `scenario` 'credential_exists_on_seam' | 'credential_on_encoder_needs_update': Scenario to simulate.
  - object
    - `acs_encoder_id` string, uuid, required: ID of the `acs_encoder` that will be used in the next request to scan the `acs_credential`.
    - `scenario` 'credential_does_not_exist_on_seam', required: Scenario to simulate.
  - object
    - `acs_encoder_id` string, uuid, required: ID of the `acs_encoder` that will be used in the next request to scan the `acs_credential`.
