Hi,

So you are getting the access token correctly

But unable to use that.

Did you verify the access token is valid?

Did you check the API which you are consuming has any ACL attached?

Hi,

So you have created an OAuth endpoint in instance A for external application to get the access token.

where are you trying to get the access token?

is it from same instance A or from another instance B?
