Inheriting auth function not working

[mission-architect-81]

Hey there,

It seems like the inheriting auth function is not working for my collection. I have gone through the process of generating a token and adding my appropriate endpoint to my variable set but when I try to do certain posts I get an

{
    "message": "Session expired or invalid",
    "errorCode": "INVALID_SESSION_ID"
}

When I switch the Authentification method of this post from “Inherit auth from parent” to Bearer Token and use the same token I had previously generated for my collection, it works … It’s like it’s not actually being inherited…

Any ideas on why this wouldn’t be working …?

Cheers,
Dave

Hey @mission-architect-81! Welcome to the Postman community

Sorry for the hassle. I understand the token in collection level is not passed to the child request, correct?

Have you saved the collection after setting the token in collection as discussed in the thread below?

Issues with Inherited Auth

Turns out you have to SAVE the collection or folder edits before it will update in the children. [image] After the save, the children now show “Using Basic Auth from collection XXXX”. [image]
