Copy the client id and the client secret values for the content source configuration. Verify the scopes and check the option ‘Perform actions as Users’. This is required if you want to crawl private information from all users. Also, we need to Generate the Public/Private Keypair. Please, save the json file that Box is going to generate, later you will need to provide this document to the connector.
After you finished with the configuration, the application needs to be authorized by the Admin of the Box account. Click on General and then Submit for Authorization. The administrator of Box will receive a email with this request.
In order to authorize the application the administrator should go to the Admin Console -> Platform -> Platforms Apps, click on Authorize New App.
