Adding Course Content through API calls

Question

I'm following the https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1529-adding-course-content using Postman.  I've followed most of the tutorials on the site with success with this one exception.  When I run the API call, according to the directions, I get a { Errors: [ {Message: "Insufficient scope to call API.Required: content:modules:read"} ] }.  How can fix this?

@Joshua Vie797 Thank you, that worked.  I didn't know that I could add multiple scopes in the application on D2L.  I appreciate your help as I continue to learn.

Justin,

Can you confirm that the application whose OAuth credentials you are using to make these calls also has the above scope added? You can find this information by:

* Navigate to the admin "cog"
* Locate and click the "Manage Extensibility" item
* Locate and click the "OAuth 2.0" tab
* Locate and edit your application
* Ensure the scope field includes the scope above (content:modules:read), and any other relevant scopes

Follow Viktor's steps again and hopefully, you are able to generate a valid token.

Cheers,

@Viktor Haa62 and @Andrea Bla691 Thank you for that information, I'm new to this and just started playing last night.  I created the new authorization and added the correct scope but I'm now getting this error message when I click Get New Access Token.

{"error":"invalid_scope","error_description":"Client is not authorized to request the scope content:modules:read"}

If I'm the administrator to the system, shouldn't I be authorized?

Thank you,

Justin Bamberg
