    Hi @Kourtney, can you see if this is why I am getting the same error as the original poster?

    My client_id is till47pexrcgp9hpmk5js033ovqfy8uc and my access level is app+enterprise.

    Hi @Kourtney

    I am wondering if this issue still occurs? My client id is `ov1k33vnmurq7uae7azyq0c4ctxczvvv` and app access is `App Access only`. I tried to access it at 11:59:50 AM NZST (GMT+13). Could you please have a look?

    Many thanks,
    Kevin

    I too have the same issue:
    Seems like you have a "magical" backend fix

    Hi Kourtney,

    I'm sure being the point person for this issue isn't what you intended many months ago. That being said :)

    Detail error: Grant credentials are invalid

    Client id: bzst0okcd5ccvrfqpkb9p2qvcfh5otc3

    Access level: enterprise access

    I'm integrating with a partner and oauth is failing.

    Hi, I am getting this issue {"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"The client credentials are invalid"}, after passing the correct credentials

    Could you please take a look? My client ID is s0nzkvxf3u2h08a0f0rry9j8q7h5bdx1. I don't remember which app type I chose when I set it up, but I think that it was a Custom app with OAuth 2.0

    I have a paid account and not getting a reply for over a month is unacceptable.

    Hello, 

    Could you please provide the client ID of your application so I can take a look at it in the backend? I believe you may be affected by a known bug.

    Hey Rathin, 

    Thank you for providing that information! It does appear this is the bug at work, but I can quickly help you work around it. Can you please tell me what the desired application access is for this app (i.e. app only or app + enterprise)? 

    Best,

    Kourtney, Box Developer Advocate

    Hi Kourtney,

    Thanks for quick response.

    I am building a backend application, which will be uploading some files to box folders using BOX API. The application will have no access to website or redirect url.

    So achieve this, I am trying the option of client grant, using client id and client secret.

    Hi Rathin,

    I stumbled upon this issue while researching something for another. What kind of app did you initially set up? Did you do the limited access app or the full enterprise app?

    Hey Rathin, 

    Apologies my question was not clear enough-- which option under the configuration tab did you want set for the application access? The options are either app only or app + enterprise. The bug is affecting the selection not being flagged on the backend which is why you are getting this error. 

    Best,

    Kourtney

    Hi Kourtney,

    I am able to access the API successfully. My Box application was not approved by Admin, due to which authorization was failing.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, what is the source of the problem and how could I fix it?

    We selected custom app with server authentifcation(client credentials) and app access only. 

    Thanks,

    Hello @N'Diaye Ousmane: 

    Apologies for the delay. Your application should now be able to be used. Please reauthorize the app in the admin console and try again!

    Hey Stephen, 

    If you want to use client id + client secret to authenticate you will need to make another app with the auth method as server authentication (with client credentials grant). This will not work with the current setup! 

    Best,

    Kourtney
