Where do you add a OAuth consumer?
Asked by Franz Holzinger:

Following to the documentation at

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/oauth-faq-338365710.html>  

the OAuth consumer can be added with a secret key and secret password starting from the avatar " **Bitbucket settings** ." .

I have already accomplished this once. But now I have problems using these secrets on a command line shell based on composer.

Where is the "**Bitbucket settings** " now? Where must I set the OAuth consumer and check the secrets? Must they be activated somehow?

I believe that the documentation page you linked is obsolete (I'll be checking this with my team internally).

OAuth is now associated with a Bitbucket workspace, and it can be found in a certain workspace's *Settings* instead.

You can find the relevant documentation here:

* <https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud/>

I am quoting from this documentation the steps to find the OAuth consumer option:

1. From your profile avatar in the bottom left, click on the workspace in the **Recent workspaces** list or click **All workspaces**to open an entire list from which to choose.

2. Click **Settings**on the left sidebar to open the Workspace settings.

3. Click **OAuth consumers** under **Apps and features**on the left navigation.

4. Click the **Add consumer** button.

Please feel free to let me know if you need any further help.

Kind regards,  
Theodora

APPS AND FEATURES

author: Theodora Boudale
body: Hi Ben,

The 'Apps and features' menu item is not dependant on licensing. This option is visible only to the workspace owner for personal workspaces.

Allow me to explain with an example:  
- Someone signs up for a Bitbucket Cloud account with username A.  
- Bitbucket automatically creates a workspace for that user, with workspace-id A (this can be changed later)  
- Then, the user creates additional workspaces B, C, D.

Workspace A is considered the user's personal workspace. If other users are added as admins, they won't be able to view 'Apps and features' for that workspace. Workspaces B, C, and D are not personal workspaces. If another user is added as an admin, they'll be able to view this option. We have a ticket about this in our issue tracker: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-20342>

If you're an admin of such a workspace, you can ask the user associated with the workspace to create the OAuth consumer. If you want multiple admins to be able to access this option, you could create a new workspace manually, transfer any repos there and work with that new workspace.

Kind regards,  
Theodora
