You cannot install the app because you don’t have the required permissions. Please contact your IT administrator for permission and try again.

Hi @haseeb1 ,

You need to be able to authorize the scopes before you can generate the access\_token. if this is an account level app, you need to be an admin to authorize it.

Thanks
