  Hello, 

  Can you please take a look in the developer console > configuration tab for you application and let me know what option you selected for application access? The options are app only or app+enterprise. There is a bug affecting this authentication method and I will need to set this selection on the backend for you. This is what is causing the error. Also, I redacted it above, but please ensure you never share your client secret publicly. This is a value that must be protected like a password. 

  Best,

  Kourtney, Box Developer Advocate
