Where can I find the revised application scope docs that match the app config screen?

 

https://developer.box.com/docs/authentication#section-oauth-2-scopes

 

For example, there is no "manage an enterprise" option. So which permission is required to delete an existing collaboration?

    Hi rkorczykowski,

     

    We're currently working on some revised documentation pages for scopes that should help with your question. I don't have anything live, but let me post a screenshot of the scopes from the app config screen to their manual scopes, and a description of each.

    The content is still very rough, but should give you an idea of what everything does. We're still expanding and adjustment those docs. Just a few notes, based on your question:

    • The manage_enterprise scope was part of the old app flow, and was an umbrella scope that encapsulated a few of the current scopes (I believe it was manage_users, manage_groups, and manage_enterprise_properties).
    • To delete an existing collaboration, "Read and write all files and folders stored in Box" should be the right scope option for you.

    Hope that helps,

    Jon
