Can't Create App Users with Java SDK

Using the following code with an application that has the rights to create app users:

 

BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(
ENTERPRISE_ID, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, encryptionPref, accessTokenCache);


BoxUser.Info user = BoxUser.createAppUser(api, APP_USER_NAME);

 

getIsPlatformAccessOnly always returns false, even if I pass in params.  Instead, it's creating an enterprise user I can login as, which the application is not technically authorized to do.

 

This is with a developer account.  Anyone else have this issue or can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Could you please try this :

     

    CreateUserParams userParams = new CreateUserParams();

    userParams.setIsPlatformAccessOnly(true);

    BoxUser.Info userInfo = BoxUser.createAppUser(api,APP_USER_NAME,userParams);

     

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    I've tried to specifically setIsPlatformAccessOnly to true and I also tried it with multiple app user names.

     

    All fail with the same error code when trying to login as app user.

     

    thanks.

    Ok, I think I see what's happening.  I guess you have to call it like this...

     

    BoxUser user = new BoxUser(api, "***number removed for privacy***");

// logical way
System.out.println(user.getInfo().getIsPlatformAccessOnly());

// I guess you have to specifiy it        
System.out.println("getIsPlatformAccessOnly: " + user.getInfo("is_platform_access_only").getIsPlatformAccessOnly());
