How to get an access_token for an entity on behalf of a logged user?

thiago.benvenuto

Hi everyone.

I read all the documentation available and I couldn't figure it out one thing related to entities.

How do I issue an access_token for a given user that was granted permission to an entity?

I know I can use client_credentials to issue an entity to entity access_token.

I tried adding the same type of scope the client_credentials uses like "target-entity:{id}:{permissions}" to the authorize code flow but it doesn't return in the access_token the expected permissions.

Can somebody point me to a solution to this question?{

Best,

@thiago-benvenuto,

My colleagues and I reviewed this and we do believe this is a current limitation. I will post additional details momentarily.

Thanks,
