Do we need to add the bearer token received by the connected system object in the integration object?

The test in the connected system can only check whether the authentication works. This means, check if username and password are OK. Authorization is something completely different and is about the actual permissions of that authenticated user.

The user did not have those permissions but I could not understand why the response status in appian was 401 and in postman 403. I missed clicking the "authorize" button right before (the previous token had expired) sending the request so the bearer token did not exist when I was testing.

I think Stefan meant that the credentials that you used in your integration didn't have the correct permissions (on the MS side).

I doubled checked and I do have permissions in the objects (connected system and integration object).

The whole idea of the connected system is, to manage the authentication stuff for you. The integration just uses that and does not have to care how it works.

Could it be that this user does not have access to that resource?
