I am trying to use the API to add a security classification to a folder and then create a metadata cascade policy so that the classification cascades to anything added to that folder. I can add the classification successfully, but I cannot create the metadata cascade policy. 

In Postman, my request body to create the metadata cascade policy looks like this:

{
 "folder_id": "12345678901",
 "scope": "enterprise_XXXXXX",
 "templateKey": "securityClassification-6VMVochwUWo"
}
But this returns a 404 error. Is there something wrong with my request? Or am I missing a step somewhere else? I'm able to do this successfully through the Box CLI, but not by making API calls through my integration app (which uses OAuth 2.0 w/ Client Credentials Grant (Server Authentication)).

Hi Maureen, 

Welcome to Box Community and I'm here to help! 

Looks like you will need to get in touch with your internal helpdesk team first. And if a support case is needed, a member of your team will get in touch instead. 

Thanks for posting!
