Hi team,

I’ve been approved for the [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) V4 API Early Access program and have set up an OAuth 2.0 Web App in the Adobe Developer Console.

I’m able to fetch an access token successfully using scopes like:

openid offline\_access profile email

But when I try to call I get a 401 Not Authorized error:

{  
“code”: 401,  
“message”: “Not Authorized”,  
“errors”: [  
{  
“code”: 401,  
“status”: 401,  
“title”: “Not Authorized”,  
“detail”: “You are not allowed to access that resource”  
}  
]  
}

I believe the issue is that the token is missing Frame.io-specific scopes like:

asset:read  
asset:comment.read  
transcript:read

These scopes are not visible or editable in the Adobe Console, so I’m not sure if they’ve been enabled on my app.

Can someone from the [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) team confirm whether those scopes are available on my account and app, and if not, help enable them?

Thanks,  
Steven

I solved this with the help of an admin team member, i was using a v2 link not v4…
