Hello all! 

I'm a web developer at the Univ of Arizona and am trying to set off a manual Box Relay to automate tasks for our staff in College of Humanities (COH).

I am trying to set up Postman to work with our app that's OAuth 2.0 with JWT (Server Authentication). So far: 

When I hit "Get New Access Token", i get the following on my browser:

I get the sense that maybe for JWT, though, I'm not supposed to authenticate this way / i'm doing something wrong. If anyone has information on how to connect Postman to Box API using JWT, that would be super super helpful.

  Hey Kevin, 

  With JWT, its a little different. In Postman, you'll want to use your developer token. Go to the developer console where you made your application. Generate a developer token. After that, you can use that token in the Postman app like below.
