I am using HttpwebRequest to pull list of all Components from Urban-code Deploy to my application. I have used my own credential in the code(C#) to access it. It is working fine. Now, i have to use the Service account that my company has, in order to pass the credential. I tried using DefaultCredential and defaultNetworkcredential but getting same error--Unauthorized access. Any help!!! Thank u!!!
You got an answer on the UrbanCode forum here: https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/372586/authentication-using-service-account-without-admin/?smartspace=urbancode
You just need a user account in the system with permissions to access the data. Accessing data via REST API requires the same permissions as through the UI. There's no way to bypass that.

GOAL: Create users in Azure Active Directory using our Global Admin account from an API.
PROBLEM: Every single way I try, I get "unauthorized".
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I've been focusing mostly on this: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/invitations
I've tried as outlined here
the "Authorization Bearer {token}" is problematic -- I can't seem to properly retrieve tokens, using any of the built URLs recommended (ie, combining ClientID & TenantID in the URL.)
I've tried the relevant portions of this, including creating the app, setting permissions on the app, trying both Web API and Native. I'm able to get a code back, but using it always comes back with Unauthorized.
As an aside, I am using Nintex to run this web service, as it is part of my workflow. Typically, web services don't give me issues. So, this sucks.
I'm missing something, here. Any thoughts or direction?
UPDATE: Removed the word "method" - bad choice of phrasing.
If you want to use Microsoft Graph explorer to create user as the global admin, you could use POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users, and the required permission is:
Permissions
For the details, you could read Create user.
Global admin runs as a user by default. To grant access to Active Directory, you need to elevate permissions in the portal.
I'm not convinced you have the permissions to create the user, and that's why I think you're getting the error.
Also, try and avoid using Global Admin. Create a Service Principal and provide more granular permissions.
I am using internal mulesoft APIs from Anypoint Access Management API Reference. I have successfully setup my postman to get the security token after login, and even executed successfully the /api/users/me and several other APIs as API creation, Portal creation, etc. However, regardless of the access provided to the connection/login user, i can't get the full list of users (/api/users) or full list of organizations (/api/organizations), receiving a 401-Not authorized error. What special permission does the connection user require to execute these 2 APIs?
Thank in advance!
Had the same issue but figured it out.
Instead of calling: /api/users, you should be calling https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/accounts/api/organizations/{orgId}/members to get a list of users.
Good morning I am using internal mulesoft Access Management APIs API Reference. I have successfully setup my postman to get the security token after login, and even executed successfully the /api/users/me. However, regardless of the access provided to the connection/login user, i can't get the full list of users (/api/users), receiving a Not authorized error. Let me explain the context. We are running on a federated platform, so we can't manage the users registration from the console, but need to wait until they login through SSO the first time to grant access to the correspondent business group and role. There is a complain as the users need to send the admin a note letting know of their successful first login, and afterwards wait to receive the access to the business group. After they login for the first time, their profiles are created in the root org. You can see them only when you are in the master organization. However, you can't get their new user id when you request a list of users of this master organization (/api/organizations/{orgId}/users). We are looking to execute this /api/users in a batch app that runs periodically and do a cross verification to get the users not associated to any orgid or role. This way we can avoid the requirement of the user sending a note to the admin. When I execute the /accounts/api/users, (API Call), we receive a 401 Unauthorized response, despite the token is correct as it is working fine with the others APIs. there is no mention of any other parameter or requirement in the API reference.
Please advise what can be done to solve this authorization error and complete our app. Thank you in advance.

my app was pulling feeds to my site for over a year, and recently stopped working late this month(23/03/2015).
I debugged the application, and still don't know why my access token is reported malformed. Here is a sample of a token which to me perplexes me as at the end there is a # tag in it, something I don't expect with QueryString access tokens:
AQD2pAp0kqILBZ9ysXGarDVdmcnnknRgnLvnLdml2TuiLXH8grq8mHkyBCE3jjoEahyMl17myD7ldp1DDWRYEIP9EEnwSHUU5-sZk3mZv6p5YTLpfTVQntYeuuYbIYEn13e3PkF2_cCQbRU2R769xr_Cj0j3Gf_HygWElOQq3BtivxTgN4Db1HfEzrIpnR7309sAZAwKJKbTGw07KukL51oVn1di0gcO2dn5ffv5V4MEb4RuVLLNrcjZWbVPB7Ktyiy62Gw-64ypMqyx2zj_0quZKFlgV0fBE_TY3K_iMr-XEGuodId1hk0n7k89DUjXa40#=
Looking at my application on Facebook(app), it is clear that I should expect access tokens on request from Query String.
Something is definitely wrong, as this access token reports a malformed access token. This is a recent bug that has just cropped up so I think.
Any body know about this problem? I can't access my feeds from my facebook profile using this access token to expose to my web based application.
Any help or suggestions are welcome.
Kind regards
Martin Okello.
Probably, you were using the read_stream permission which is no longer granted to apps. You should try to regenerated an Access Token with the new user_posts permission and use this Access Token instead.

For my application I want the user to be able to store files on Google Drive and for my service to have access to these same files created with the application.
I created a Client ID for web application and was able to upload/list/download files from JavaScript (client side) with drive.appfolder scope. This is good, this is half of what I want to do.
Now I want to access the same files from Node.js (server side). I am lost as to how to do this. Do I create a new Client ID for the server? (if so, how will the user authenticate?) Do I pass the AuthToken my user got client-side and try to use that on the server? I don't think this will work as the AuthToke is time-sensitive (and probably not intended to be used from multiple IPs).
Any direction or example server-side code will be helpful. Again, all I want is to access these same files the user created with my application, not any other files in the user's Google Drive.
CLARIFICATION: I think my question boils down to: "Is it possible to access the same Application Data on Google Drive both client-side and server-side?"
Do I create a new Client ID for the server?
Up to you. You don't need to, but you can. See below.
if so, how will the user authenticate?
Up to you. OAuth is about authorisation, not authentication.
Just in case you meant authorisation, the user authorises the Project, which may contain multiple client IDs.
Do I pass the AuthToken my user got client-side and try to use that on the server?
You can do, but not a good idea for the reason you state. The preferred approach is to have a separate server Client ID, and use that to request offline access, which returns (eventually) a Refresh Token, which you store in your server. You then use that Refresh Token to request Access Tokens whenever you need them.
AuthToken is ... (and probably not intended to be used from multiple IPs).
It is not bound to a specific IP address
Is it possible to access the same Application Data on Google Drive both client-side and server-side?"
Yes
