Hi,
I'm using JWT and made two folders with API but I can not find them inside the box directory app.
Is there something that I missed?
Thanks
Question
Can not find folders made by API
When your application uses JWT authentication, you're generally authenticating as a special account called the Service Account — not your own personal Box account that you can view in the web application. Folders created in the Service Account are not shared with your personal account by default, and vice-versa. If you want to create Folders in your personal account using JWT auth, you'll need to use the As-User header, as described in the linked article.
Hello ,
Thanks so much for using the platform and development forum!
When you create a JWT application it automatically generates an associated service account (AutomationUser), which, by default, is who makes all the API calls for your application. You can verify this by using the get current user endpoint. Therefore, when you're making API calls to, for example, upload a file, they're going to be uploaded into the folder tree of the service account and not of your own Box account. Hence, it's expected behavior that if you log in to box.com, you will not see the content in your folder tree. Please note that service accounts do not have login credentials, so you cannot log into them via box.com. The only way to see their folder tree in the UI is to use the content manager, in the admin console and searching for the application name.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any clarification.
Best,
