Hi Team,

Limited Access App which created was "Authorized" but showing as "Disabled"? is that means i cannot access this APP / "Primary Access Token"? because i am getting "401 -Unauthorized - Cannot authorize with this service"

In the below example, is the "Access Token" is same as "Primary Access Token" which is created in Limited Access APP?'

curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/763058762304" -H "authorization: Bearer <Access Token>"

Hello, 

That is correct. The app must be authorized and enabled by an Admin before you can access enterprise content. Please review: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/custom-apps/app-approval/.
