Hello,

I'm running into a roadblock when trying to login as a Customer Community User and access the Chatter REST API via our Connected App.

I'm able to get in and access the API no problem with a System Administrator user type. However for a Customer Community User, it looks like they give me access but I can't get any queries to return data.

I successfully OAuth and get an access token but when making the request I get the error:

"The Chatter Connect API is not enabled for this organization or user type."

I've created a Permission Set for the Customer Community User to have "API Enabled" and added that to the Connected App.

I've tried OAuth'ing via user-agent and web-server and for both, the tokens I get do not work. When using web-server, the code I get back does work to get the access token, but again the token is not valid.

Am I forgetting something in the header that is needed for non-Sys Admin users?

More info on my process:

Auth code url:

https://app-comm-test-developer-edition.na15.force.com/comm1/services/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={our connected app's client id}&redirect_uri=https://login.app-comm-test-developer-edition.na15.force.com/services/oauth2/success

After login, with the code given back, I send a request to:

https://app-comm-test-developer-edition.na15.force.com/comm1/services/oauth2/token

This grants me an access token, which I then include in the header as {'Authorization' : 'OAuth <token>'} to:

https://app-comm-test-developer-edition.na15.force.com/comm1/services/data/v29.0/connect/communities/0DBi0000000CavRGAS/chatter/feeds/news/me/feed-items

This is where I get the error message: "The Chatter Connect API is not enabled for this organization or user type."

If I replace the access token with one given to me when logging in as a System Administrator, things work fine.

Any insight on steps I'm missing are greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Victor
