Lucidchart user token API

Hi

I'm managing an organization of less than 100 users in a non-Premium account. I was trying to use the API to ease onboarding and manage folders and group structures and stumbled upon a roadblock.

I created an App Integration with scopes: readonly+offline_access+account.user and was able to query the API successfully. For selective calls such as list-folder-user-collaborators: https://developer.lucid.co/rest-api/v1/#list-folder-user-collaborators the API calls fail with a 403.

{
  code: 'userOperationOnly'
  message: 'Only users can perform this operation'
  requestId: '866a9e8bfe19e3c0'
}

I'm not sure how to get a user token and I have the following questions.
1. How do I get / generate a User Token? Are "team-admins" allowed to generate this token or is the "account-owner" the only one allowed to do so?

2. Is this accessible without a Premium Account?

 

Thank you.

Ah! Missed that endpoint. Got it working using that other endpoint.

Thanks!

Hello Boris thank you for your question.

The process to retrieve a 'user' token is identical to an `account` token except it uses a different endpoint. This section will give you the detais: https://developer.lucid.co/rest-api/v1/#access-token-endpoints

Any user can get a `user` token but only admins can get an `account` token.
