REST /rest/api/user/current Unauthorized with OAuth 2.0 3LO

[James Hees]

We're converting our Confluence app from application links to OAuth2.0.  Calls like 

https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{our_cloud_id}/rest/api/space

work however anything related to users, groups fails with 401 unauthorized.  These worked with application links.  Examples of what fails: 

https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{our_cloud_id}/rest/api/user/current

https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{our_cloud_id}/rest/api/group

A curl request for these looks like: curl --request GET --url https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{our_cloud_id}/rest/api/user/current --header "Authorization: Bearer {our_token}" --header 'Accept: application/json'

Hi @James Hees ,

Apologies for late reply. However I can see that you already got the issue solved by opening a support ticket in https://support.atlassian.com/contact

I am pasting the solution in here in case anyone would be interested. 

The issue was due to the below bug that is now solved:

• [CONFCLOUD-68643] Cannot establish new application links from server to Confluence cloud

Cheers,
Dario
