# Slack: add a bot token scope and get the Bot User OAuth Token — OAuth & Permissions → Bot Token Scopes → Install to Workspace

## Steps
1. Open the app in App Management → OAuth & Permissions.
2. Under Scopes, add the needed scopes under Bot Token Scopes.
3. Install (or reinstall) the app to the workspace to authorize the new scopes.
4. Copy the resulting Bot User OAuth Token (prefix `xoxb-`) from the OAuth & Permissions page.

## End state
The OAuth & Permissions page lists the token beginning with `xoxb-`; API calls made with it succeed for the scopes just added.
