REST Call for non-admin users is failing with 401

[Charles Fredie]

Hi Everyone,

I have an Outbound REST Message with Authentication Type as OAuth 2.0. I am triggering the REST Call using a BR on update of certain fields. Now the REST Call returns 200 Status if a user with Admin role updates the fields.
But when a Non-Admin user updates the fields, the REST Call in BR still triggers but returns a 401 Status Code.
So far I tried adding the below ACLs as mentioned by ServiceNow in the below article but the problem remains still the same:

OAuth Profile has Grant Type as Resource Owner Password Credentials.

that ACL config should help here.

ensure that API user has access to OAuth Profile as well and then run

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar

Should I provide the Non-Admin user read access to the OAuth Profile?

Okay I will try it, but is it a good or recommended practice to provide read access of OAuth Profile to a Non-Admin User?
