I have a scenario that I'm creating a service user and using that service user for creating folder but that folder is not visible on my Box account user Folder. How to collaborate as such that the Box account user don't have to looked for newly created service user(from code) and then collaborate it with Box account User, so that any creation of folder is visible to Box Account User without manually going to application and asked to collaborate the service user created by code.

    Hi hs_mehra99,

     

    If I am following correctly, it sounds like you are wanting to easily collaborate users into your Service Account's content. You can add collaborators to your Service Account's content using the Create Collaboration endpoint: https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#add-a-collaboration

     

    You would create the collaboration using a token from your Service Account since it owns the content you want to collaborate the users into.

     

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Mbehn-box,

     

    How can i collaborate it with with Box Application User. Suppose i'm Log in with uid- test in box application can i use this account to collaborate it with box user created from Code or can i directly create Folder using this uid only and no need of creating a new user.

    My requirement is that the user(box application user) can create and upload files from code and that is visible to application user(box user) rather then creating a service user from code and then manually collaborating it with application user.

     

    Thanks
