how to change standard personal account to developer account (to use CCG auth)

Hi all,

Some files have been/will be shared with me by a third party, using my work email address. To access those files I inadvertently created a ‘standard’ user account with that address. However, I have since realised that I need to use CCG auth to access these files programmatically (ie only short-lived developer access tokens by themselves won’t do).

My standard user account won’t allow its platform app to have ‘App + enterprise access’ or ‘Generate user tokens’, which I need for CCG auth. If I delete the account, then I can’t reuse the email address for 120 days(!) for a new developer account.

Is there any way of switching the personal account to a developer account, or somehow enabling CCG auth for the personal account?

Thanks,

Vivek
