AGOL: AppId authentication and access to private resources?

Question

I followed this documentation to login to AGOL with an application (using appId + appSecret):

App logins and OAuth 2.0 | ArcGIS for Developers‌

The problem with that solution is I only have access to the public content. Is there a way to access a private resource from my organisation with that type of authentication?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Patrick,

I've ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 federated with ArcGIS Server. I've used the portal admin user to create an application with appld and appsecret. I have entered this info in the proxy.config file. I'm trying to access the map image layer item. When I'm trying to access this secure resource from 3rd party application (asp.net) I get a response "error 498: invalid token" when I look into the Network tab of Google Chrome.

Can you help?

In answer to this your application will only be able to read content owned by the same user that created the app.

So if you have a private feature service owned by the same user you can use the token to read data from the service but not anything else.

if you want to access private content on ArcGIS Online the best way to use OAuth 2 which will allow you access users content. User logins and OAuth 2.0 | ArcGIS for Developers
