# Authenticate to Your Trailhead Playground Org

After configuring the connected app, you must authorize your user with the connected app.

## Authorize the app

Construct a URL by using this format.

YOUR\_ORG\_URL/services/oauth2/authorize?response\_type=code&client\_id=YOUR\_CONSUMER\_KEY&scope=api refresh\_token offline\_access &redirect\_uri=https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback

- YOUR\_ORG\_URL is the fully qualified instance URL.
- YOUR\_CONSUMER\_KEY is the consumer key noted when you set up the connected app.

Next, paste the URL into a browser and execute it, and then select **Allow** for each of the scopes requested in the modal that appears. If you receive an alert from the callback, select **Open Postman.**. To verify that everything is authorized, from Setup, in the box, enter Connected Apps OAuth Usage, and confirm that you see your connected app with a user count of 1.
