Hello.

 

I created an App User for a client.

However I want to allow the App User to access to a specific folder.

Is there any way to set an App User's access scope?

I've checked that an App User can access the all folders and files in this section(below) and Edit Application.

Thank you!

Hey - did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm looking for documentation on this and would be grateful for any tips. Thanks!

Hello,

 

in theory, the only thing you have to do is to add the APP User as a Collaborator in a folder as any other user.

 

You can do it directly from the folder or from the admin console administrating the app user directly.

 

Regards 🙂

I had the same issue.

 

I created an app user using .net API and ran into permission issues. I tried setting up the permissions in the admin console, but no luck.

 

I finally setup a new user in the admin console with necessary permissions and used the ID of the user in my API calls.

 

There must be a missing setup step in the API I guess.
