Box toolkit’s Auth doesn’t support root_readwrite ...
# 🖥│support-forum

When I am trying to set up a auth config for Box toolkit, although I can update the scope to become root_readwrite which enables all tools that require editing/managing permissions. But, when trying to actually authenticate and connect from my app, the window popped up but immediately closed, which doesn’t give me the chance to authenticate. When I switch back to default, everything worked again

Hey @lukeguo, could you share your failed connectedAccountId?

Hey @lukeguo, we are checking this.
The scopes are pre-configured in the auth application itself. If your application has the 
root_readonly
and 
root_readwrite
scopes enabled, it is possible to restrict a user's access token to 
root_readonly
by specifying this scope when redirecting the user. However, you cannot pass the scope which is not pre-configured in the OAuth app. Our default app only has "Read all files and folders stored in Box", i.e., 
root_readonly
scope configured. — You can use your custom OAuth app and will be able to manage the auth config as per your requirements. ref: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/first-application/ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1435792148753809408/1435939708646719499/Screenshot_2025-11-06_at_15.54.36.png?ex=690dca91&is=690c7911&hm=d8fc0828ba9fffc99457756c99d8e51a11f70aef433db7e516ae79c58b7dcb49&

OK thanks

Hey @lukeguo, We’ve updated the scopes of our default app. You should be able to confine your connected account to 
root_readwrite
.

Thanks!
