Welcome to the Forum, Ruben ! 🙂



Have you authorized the app in the admin console?

Thank you @CodeBoxSeb.



How can I authorized my app?



I try follow this guide, but in my admin console I don’t see the authorization tab.

Hi @Ruben



Be careful, it’s not the Authorization tab that you need to use.


If you go to your Admin Console, click on “Apps” on the left menu, and then, select “Custom Apps Manager” :

Do I need access to other site?



Actually I have a free account, I don’t know if this is the reason.



Thanks.

Hi @Ruben



Indeed, you’ll need to upgrade your account to a Business tariff at least : https://www.box.com/en-gb/pricing/business



It will allow you to access the Admin console.
