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

Here is wonderful way it has answered with animated Gif image that will easily help you to understand the proccess: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47692828/ringcentral-auth-token-failed-in-curl-call-unauthorized-for-this-grant-type/47745436#47745436

If you move on with the current app, see this quick start for a demo https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/authentication/quick-start/authorization-flow/php

Otherwise, if you want to use the password flow authentication, create a new app and select the Server-only (No UI) for the Platform Type. See this demo https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/voice/quick-start/php

For security reasons you have to use 3-legged OAuth flow with authorization_code grant type in web applications. See https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/basics/oauth#authorization-code-flow
