It is not possible to increase the permissions (e.g., add another scope) on an existing access token or refresh token. Adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens or refresh tokens.

Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
