# Preferred method: OAuth policy configuration for the Connected App

This option is preferred as it works in every situation. The alternative method requires having access to an admin user for the organization.

1.  Open the **connected application** menu, find the connected application for Digital Commerce and click **Manage** and select **Edit Policies**.

2.  Under **Oauth2 Policies**, set **Permitted users** option to **Admin approved users are pre-authorized**.

4.  Add the profile of the DCG assigned user to the **Profiles** section of the connected application.
