Hello,

 

Is it possible for non-admin users to call Box API and access their files?

 

I found similar question on https://community.box.com/t5/Platform-and-Development-Forum/API-Key-for-Normal-User-Account/td-p/24136 but it seems old.

    Hi Mak,

     

    Yes, Its absolutely possible for non admin user to make api calls and access the files from box. You need to create a service account inside which you will create an app account that can be registered by your admin using client id. Once this set up is complete, You can create your desired application using box api calls and perform various tasks on behalf of non admin users. Let me know if you have any questions
