    Hello , 

     

    Your developer token is going to be associated with whoever is logged into the developer console when the generate token button is clicked. If using this token works, that means that user either owns or is collaborating on the folder ID you're trying to access. When using the default JWT token, you're going to be working with your application's service account (AutomationUser). Therefore, you have two options: 

     

    1.) Add your app's service account on the folder you're trying to access

    2.) Obtain a token directly for a user that already has access; this is done in the sub claim of the JWT assertion

     

    I hope that helped clarify! 

     

    Best, 

    Kourtney

    Hello Kourtney,

     

    I have a question, with the second method JWT assertion, the app's service is still required?
