Yes sadhus2473
But Best Practice suggest :
Create a dedicated group in Appian specifically for service accounts used with OAuth 2.0 clients. You can then assign granular permissions to this group, ensuring that service accounts have the necessary access while limiting their overall privileges.

Is that correct way or do we have some other way to do it?

Hi Shubham,

Thanks for the response.

I found the issue. By default, service accounts are created as Basic User. If I update them as Administrator, I'm getting the data.

Is that correct way or do we have some other way to do it?

It seems like you've successfully authenticated using Basic Auth and API Key but are encountering issues with OAuth2. If authentication is successful but you're getting empty data, it might be a problem with authorization or how you're accessing the data after authentication. Double-check your OAuth2 configuration, including scopes and permissions, to ensure the client has the necessary access to retrieve the data. Additionally, verify that the API endpoints you're trying to access are correctly configured to return data for authenticated clients.
