Giving

Describe the question

I work with several churches. A recurring issue is that the Access Token the church generates for me works for everything BUT Giving. As I am not a Planning Center Web UI user myself, I am at a loss as to what to tell them the Token generator account needs permission wise for me to access the Giving APIs.
What are the requirements for the account of the person generating the Access Token to have access to the Giving APIs. I need the campuses, donations and funds APIs.
What have you tried that worked?
Hit or miss. Sometimes the Giving APIs work, sometimes they don't.

What have you tried that didn't work?
