V4 API — "Please contact the application developer to gain access to Project" on my own OAuth Web App credential

,

Hi Frame.io team,

I’m trying to get read-only V4 API access (list projects, download approved video assets) and I’m blocked at the Adobe IMS authorization step.

Setup:

  • Frame.io account: already connected to Adobe Authentication (done via Account Settings → Profile → Authentication → Connect).
  • Redirect URI: https://localhost:8080/

The problem:
When I run the IMS authorize flow — instead of a consent screen I’m redirected to an error page saying:

“Please contact the application developer to gain access to Project XXXX.”

What I’ve already checked:

  • The credential config matches the downloaded JSON exactly (client_id, secret, redirect URI).
  • In Admin Console → App Integrations → Admin Authorizations the list is empty, and “Add integrations” does not list my own Developer Console app (it only shows marketplace apps).
  • I’m a System Administrator on the org.

My question: How do I get my account/org provisioned so that User Authentication (OAuth Web App) works against the V4 API? Is there an entitlement or linking step that needs to be done on your side?

Thanks!

Hi @IVcompany!

This usually happens when your app is still in development and you haven’t added the account you’re attempting to authenticate to as a beta user. If that’s what’s happening here, it’s a pretty quick fix:

  • Log in to the Adobe Developer Console
  • Locate your project, and click on the project name to open project details
  • Click the ‘Beta users’ link in the left sidebar
  • Enter the email address on file for the account you’re attempting to authenticate to in the text field
  • Click ‘Save list’

Hope this helps! Feel free to follow up here if you continue to run into any issues with this.
