In all honesty I’m really lost at this point. I’ve got the basics of my Twitter App done and I myself can use it but I don’t know how to let others access to use the App… Either I’m being really dense or there’s something I’m just flat out not seeing but as far as I’m aware the consumer keys belong to the App itself where as the access token and secret create the relationship between my twitter account and the App.

So how to do I allow others create their own access tokens so they can use the App? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

You would have to implement some sort of way for others to authenticate using your app:

Either with:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/log-in-with-twitter/login-in-with-twitter

Or: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/overview/pin-based-oauth if it’s a console-based app or something that doesn’t have a browser or otherwise can’t use the normal login with twitter.

Then store their Access Token & Secret appropriately: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/securing-keys-and-tokens.html

Hope that helps!
