Entitlement error when connecting API (Postman) to BC

Putting error and solution here.

Issue:

When connecting S2S Oauth using Postman to BC you get this error in Postman:

"code": "Authentication_InvalidCredentials",

"message": "Web service call failed because user could not be authenticated or authorized.

More symptoms (OnPrem): In the Application log on the BC Server you get two warnings:

First this one:

Message: User signed in with the following information: user type=Normal user, entitlement set Ids=, authorization status=Failed, guest user=False, failure reason=A user successfully authenticated in Azure Active Directory but the user does not have any entitlements in Business Central.

Then this one:

MessageWithoutPrivateInformation: Your account has been authenticated with Azure Active Directory, but there is no valid license assigned to your account in Business Central. Contact your system administrator to get a valid license assigned to you.

Solution (At least in my case this was the solution):

In Postman under Advanced Options, set Resource = https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/
