Companies endpoint permission issue

Posted on by PU-21010544-0 23
Hello I am trying to query the /api/v2.0/companies endpoint, i get a proper response when using the CRONUK/CRONUS test accounts, when i choose my real company, i keep getting (i added the xxxx in the url to hide my environment) :
 
Client error: `GET https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/api/v2.0/companies` resulted in a `401 Unauthorized` response:
{"error":{"code":"Authentication_InvalidCredentials","message":"Web service call failed because user could not be authen (truncated...)
 
I get an access token and a refresh token fine. Infact all other companies that i have tested with works fine, but not the production one where i am trying with a non admin user. Can anyone please advise where i can give selective permission so as that user can also be able to query this companies endpoint? I do also have an admin account it works with the admin account, but i wanted to grant selective permission to just a specific user to be able to choose which company id to work with, I can't seem to find this in a documentation or the UI of business central.

    Because it is a 401 error, it seems to be a problem with the OAuth settings.
    It is recommended to check the App Registration settings.
     
    Thanks.

    Check extension permissions. If extensions are used, verify and grant the necessary permissions.

    @PU-21010544-0  Does this mean you have tested all the companies where this works fine, and those are in the sandbox? And in production, you are encountering the issue?

    Hi,
     
    It looks that your user have company specific rights. You can navigate to Users page and then if you open your user and go to User Permission set tab, you will see that the permissions assigned to you might be for specific company. If you want to assign these permissions for all companies then make the company field empty.
