Hi, I'm just getting started with developing with the BOX APIs, and trying to create a Developer Token as outlined here: 

https://developer.box.com/docs/authenticate-with-developer-token#section-creating-a-developer-token

However, the "Generate Developer Token" button isn't an option on my box application.

 

Thanks!

  Hey  

   

  When you are on the "Configuration" tab of an app in the developer console, do you see a field called "primary access token" or "invocation url"?

  Yes! I do have the ability to generate or revoke a primary access token, but not a developer token. Unless it's the same thing?

  Hi  ,

   

  You'll be able to revoke primary access tokens as well as downscoped tokens and those developer tokens using the token revocation endpoint. For a developer token you'll also be able to revoke it from the same place where you generated it in the app (where  mentioned). When you create the token the create developer token button will be changed to a revoke token button.

   

  Thanks,

  Jon
