Functional permissions

When creating an application, you must configure the functional permissions of your integration. These will be necessary for user authorization to your application, granting the Grant and allowing the correct use of our API on their behalf.

Note:
Before creating an application, make sure that the account you are using is the owner account in the solution you are intending to develop, thus avoiding potential account transfer issues in the future. We recommend that the account is created under a legal entity.
