I am trying to connect to the forms rest API using a service account.

* The account and Basic Auth API Token scoped to read:jira-work, read:jira-user

* I am using the following endpoint URI https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/<cloudId>/forms/issue/<issueIdOrKey>/form (with the appropriate values for cloudid and issuekey)

* This results in 

{
"code": 401,
"message": "Unauthorized"
}

Hi @Jarod Beekman 

Welcome to the community.

No this is not possible, as the Forms API endpoints have no granular scopes defined.
