I need help in creating a folder with JWT auth method under a service account

I am new to BOX, so may be my question will be silly, but still as I have wasted 1 week for this and I desperately need help on the below case.

I have created an application(service account) and it authentication method is OAuth 2.0 with JWT. I am not able to get how I can generate an access token using the client id and client secret id. I have tried with developer token, but however, the folder which ever I am creating with that token is always ending up with the managed account. Under Content Manager I am not able to see the newly created folder under the service account.

I need help on how I can create a folder under the service account not under managed account.

The results you're seeing are expected — the Developer Token is tied to the account of the developer user, not the Service Account. I would recommend starting with the Quickstart Guide for JWT Auth — that should have the information you need to get started using JWTs to authenticate with the Box API. You'll probably want to use one of our SDKs for this, in whichever language you choose.
