    Hi ,

     

    I ran a few tests myself using the content explorer and a JWT application, with all available scopes, and I was able to replicate the error as well. From what I can see this doesn't affect apps that are using a developer token, and appears to be related to the token downscoping process.

     

    In speaking with the internal Elements folks it appears that the issue resides in the item_preview scope. There is currently an internal ticket open to fix this, but I don't currently have an ETA. Our apologies for the inconvenience, we'll do our best to get it remedied.

    Hi ,

     

    We are busy with integration between Salesforce and Box and we are facing the same issue with the search functionality and the down scoped tokens.

    We would like to ask if there is any update regarding this bug?

     

    Best regards,

    I'll echo the same.  I can only search by giving a fully scoped token...which makes down-scoping now useless.

     

    Thanks!

    After a year later, the problem still exists. Any update on this?

     The cause of this one is related to the need for write based permissions in the scopes. Add root_readwrite to the scope list and it'll solve the problem.

     

    On the documentation side we are currently working on rewriting / rebuilding the content of the developer site (the first iteration of the API docs was launched a few months back to https://box.dev ). Over the coming months the elements documentation will be worked on heavily to make information like this more transparent.
