So, I started noticing something strange that has happened to one of my developer accounts. The section that used to exist called “User Authentication Settings / App Permissions” in the app settings section is no longer available to make changes to (the attached image has a big red cross indicating that the section isn’t there anymore). It’s the section where I could change read/write/direct message values on. I noticed something was wrong, as my code started getting errors all of a sudden.
One very important piece of info here is that I did NOT change anything for this issue to arise. Just running code and now this fun…
Does ANYONE have any idea what’s going on now?

Does that account have Elevated access, or Essential access?
What API call are you making in v2? You can use OAuth 2 with e.g. tweet.write permission if you need to post a Tweet, without needing to use OAuth 1.0A settings.
Before I get into reprogramming the app, would you know of any instance where these settings would simply disappear for a user, especially when no changes to the account have been made? It’s defaulting to “read”, but I cannot figure out how to change it back to read-write anymore.
Is there a possibility that I ended up being limited or suspended unknowingly and therefore I cannot perform certain “write” actions anymore?
Same issue here. The OAuth 1.0 authentication section suddenly disappeared. I’d been working with Essential Access with no problem, but then I couldn’t see that section anymore.

Have we made any headway on this? I have looked everywhere for a workaround.
The App permissions documentation page now has a note saying “These permissions are only available for Elevated and Academic Access.” Seems like this might be an intentional change?
