Getting `team_data.member` scope is required, but that scope is checked in the App Console

Getting `team_data.member` scope is required, but that scope is checked in the App Console

I am implementing OAuth, and when I call the OAuth URL at Dropbox, I see this error in the browser:  `team_data.member` scope is required.

 

But that scope is checked in the App Console, for this app. Screen shot attached.

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks for the report. This looks like a bug on our side with this configuration. We'll look into and I'll follow up with you here once I have an update on that for you.

+1 from me also - first day hooking up to the DB api and was convicted it was me doing something wrong! 😞

@Greg-DB Is there any workaround we can use in the mean time? We're frozen on development against the Dropbox API until this is resolved.

@Jistix_ You can work around this by disabling the 'files.permanent_delete' scope for your app on the App Console. (Of course, that's only suitable if you don't need that scope.)

@Greg-DB  Perfect! Thank you!

Thanks for reporting this issue. This issue has now been addressed.

 

To resolve this issue, please now disable and then re-enable the files.permanent_delete scope and then click "Submit" for any affected apps(s) on the "Permissions" tab for the app on the App Console. If you do not need the files.permanent_delete scope, you should leave it disabled.

 

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
