Marketplaces and Platforms - Onboard Sellers (PERMISSION ISSUE)

Hi all, We filled out this form (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/partner-program/contact-us) and I’ve already received an email that we have been approved as a Paypal partner and have become an approved marketplace. We implemented the onboarding flow for sellers using this documentation (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/platforms/seller-onboarding/before-payment/) and tested it in sandbox mode, and it works well, but we can use it in live mode because our account doesn’t have sufficient permissions to use the Partner Referrals API API. We need this implementation because we want to charge a comission fee for each sales transaction in our platform. This is the response that we get when we run our code in live mode, I make the request to https://api-m.paypal.com/v2/customer/partner-referrals to generate the onboarding link and it fails with the following response. { "name": "NOT_AUTHORIZED", "message": "Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions.", "details": [{ "issue": "MISSING_SCOPES", "description": "User doesn't have this API in their scope" }} ] Could you please help us adding permissions to our account to be able to perform the above request and use that endpoint? We really need them to move forward with the implementation. Best! FD

We have exactly the same issue - all working in sandbox - getting the following in production:

 

responseBody: {
name: 'NOT_AUTHORIZED',
message: 'Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions.',
debug_id: '***',
information_link: '',
details: [
{
issue: 'MISSING_SCOPES',
description: "User doesn't have this API in their scope"
}
],,
links: []
},
