Downscoped tokens do not work with Box-UI-Elements

Whenever I try to downscope a token and then provide it to the Content Explorer, the content explorer does not function correctly. It will work if I provide a non-downscoped token. It does not work with any downscoped token regardless of it is downscoped through box-node-sdk or cURL. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Alex,

    When you are downscoping, are you setting the scopes that are specific to each of the Elements? For instance, here are the scopes that are available for the Content Explorer element. At the bottom of each page there will be a list of scopes that may be set for each of the Elements.

    If you can provide more detail about the scopes / Element that you're using in downscoping we can give it a test run and see what might be happening.

    Thanks,

    Jon
