I need scope in OAuth token to get private resources

Can you confirm how to add scope for private in OAuth

Hi @kuldeep_41

Currently, OAuth tokens do not have access to private resources. If you need access to these resources, you will need to use an API token configured with the appropriate permissions scope. As you noted in the docs, future updates will allow OAuth tokens more access, but for now, they don’t.

Hi molly thankyou for your reply I can see this is mention in api docs but API TOKEN is not giving webbook's that's why I want private resource access in OAuth

Hi @kuldeep_41 

Could you please vote for this idea so that our Product team is more likely to prioritize the work to add private resources to OAuth clients? Thanks!
