Question

authentication issue need jwt and access

hello

i read about the 2 authentication options, and i really need a third (a hybrid)

i need to be able to save credentials and use server to server login

but i need access to all user files and for him to be able to keep working with his current account as usual

how do i do that ?

thanks

Hi ,

If I understand your question, you want a JWT implementation but want to be able to work directly with user accounts in your enterprise?

For that you can go through the JWT process (https://developer.box.com/docs/authenticate-with-jwt), which gives you access to work with content in the service account. If you then generate a user access token (https://developer.box.com/docs/work-with-users#section-generate-a-user-access-token), using that token will allow you to work directly with a user in your enterprise that you specify.

Hope that helps,

Jon
