This documentation was helpful but it doesn't discuss how to go about adding the service account as a collaborator. Is there an email associated with the account? I'm assuming this is something only the enterprise admin would have access to.

  Hello, 

   

  Thanks so much for using our platform and development forum! 

   

  To do this via the API, you will need to obtain a token for either the content owner or a collaborator who has a high enough access level to add collaborators, and then use the create collaboration endpoint! 

   

  Let me know if you have any questions or would like directions on how to do this via the webapp! 

   

  Best, 

  Kourtney

  How do we do this without having to obtain a user token and use the API? If I have a user which can create collaborator's in the UI, can they not add a service account themselves?

   

  UPDATE:

  Disregard. For anyone that comes across this in the future. If you do get the service account user id (using the api), then you can make a call to the users api and it will return the generated email address for the service account user. You can then have someone with permissions invite that user as a collaborator using the generated email address through the UI.

  Thanks for the post.  I was just trying to find a less clunky way to grant access to a service account, but based on this thread, I will assume that this is the way to do it.

  I was able to get the email id for the service account using get user api function using the config file. Through the authenticator token it wasnt working
