Transfer owned folders

I am attempting to use the API to transfer owned folders to another account so that I can delete the original account.

 

Here is the API call that I'm making:

 

https://api.box.com/2.0/users/123456/folders/0 -H 'Authorization: Bearer redactedbearertoken' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"owned_by": {"id": "987654"}}' -X PUT

 

123456 is the user's account, 987654 is the account transfer destination.

 

When I run this code I get a 400 error (bad_request) with the message "Cannot transfer to folder".

 

The OAUTH account that's running the script has the following administrative privileges:

  • Manage users
  • View users' content
  • Edit users' content
  • Log in to users' accounts

Not sure what to do. My script worked just fine (deleting accounts) until we had the Governance module installed, now it seems that I have to transfer ownership of all the files to another user before I can delete it.

    Hi , I am not too sure what's going on here but I'm investigating. I just want to check that the access token represents a user with admin privileges, and that the target user ID is a user in your enterprise?

    Got it working. Posting the solution to help others.

     

    I had to enable the 'Read and write all files and folders stored in Box' and 'Manage Users' scopes, then grab a new token pair and retried my script, all is working now.

     thank you so much. I've pushed an update to our reference docs to explicitly call out that you need the `Read and write all files and folders stored in Box` scope to transfer files
