The key message is "Unauthorized for this grant type".

Please check your app to make sure it supports the grant type.

If it's a sandbox app, you can simply create a new app instead to enable password flow.

By the way, public app doesn't support password flow.

If you have difficulty configuring it, please contact the developer support team or submit a support ticket.

This a common issue user face. Similar type of question raised here.

More precisely discussed here.

If you're using an OAuth 2.0 request using the OAuth 2.0 password grant (grant_type=password), then your application you created should in the RingCentral Developer Portal should be Password flow .

Please note, application created with different platform type will have different grant_type.

For example, application created for platform type = browser based will have grant_type=Authorization Code | Implicit | Refresh Access Token where as application for platform type = Desktop/Windows will have grant_type= Authorization Code | Password flow |Refresh Access Token

So in order to use (grant_type=password) you need to have application created with platform type that support Password flow
