I created custom app through developer token as a service user. I am trying list the objects and upload file to a specific box folder. When i try to authenticate using jwt token the user id that is getting authenticated is different from the one which i am seeing it in the app.
Question
Developer app user id different from the authenticated user
Hi there,
This is mainly an issue with who the access token is scoped for. When using a developer token, the token itself will be scoped to the Box account of the developer (you). When you first authenticate with a JWT app, the access token is scoped for the service account of the application. If you want to make a call for a different user, you'll either need to generate a user access token in your JWT app, or make the request with an As-User header.
