Issue with Access token creation Its only me and its requesting a team administrator to generate
You see its only me and I am trying to generate an access token. Why is it requiring a team administrator? Did I mess up something in the settings?
Hi Carter57,
Turn to permission tab above. Take a look on "Team Scopes". Have you selected some of them? 🧐 If so, only team admin can perform such an action. 😉 Remove all team scopes.
As a workaround you can authorize your application using OAuth flow where you can limit the active scopes to applicable for personal account only (without changing scopes already set to the application as such). Of course, non team admin account won't be able use scope permitted for admin only.
Hope this helps.
