Intro

I was trying to follow these directions (they may be updated by the time you read this), which state the following:

In the Apps and Features section, choose OAuth consumers, and then choose Add consumer.

Enter a name for your consumer, for example, Amplify Integration.

Enter a callback URL. Although this field is a required input, it’s not used to complete the integration so the value could be http://localhost:3000

Check the box for This is a private consumer.

Choose the following permissions:

Project – Read

Repositories – Admin

Pull requests – Read

Webhooks – Read and Write

Leave the default choices for all the other fields and choose Submit.

Record the key and secret that are generated.

There’s similar documentation out there that mentions creating a private consumer, and it’s not clear how to actually do that. The new menu options make all those docs outdated. Here’s what I’ve found:

• To create an OAuth consumer, you have to actually go to Apps and Features > OAuth clients > Create OAuth client.
• To enter a callback URL, you have to select the Authorization code grant type checkbox under the Authorization tab when creating the client
• To make this client a private consumer, you also have to select the Client credentials grant type checkbox under the Authorization tab when creating the client.
  • If you don’t select this, you’ll get the following error: Cannot use client_credentials with a consumer marked as \"public\". Calls for auto generated consumers should use urn:bitbucket:oauth2:jwt instead.

Hope that helps.
