Hi, 

 

I have an enterprise Box account. I want to access the data of all my users through Box API. Ideally, I would like to impose this condition on any new user that joins my enterprise. I don't want to go through the trouble of having the user accept my request to allow me to access his account.

 

I want to have a single application in my enterprise that can access all the enterprise's data and I don't want to leave this upto the users to decide (i.e whether to allow me to access their data). Is that possible ? Right now my application can access the data of only 1 account at a time. I want to be able to have an API connection that can go through all the enterprise's accounts at the same time.

 

Thanks

You can use an access token scoped to a Box Admin with the As-User header to access content from your Managed Users.
