Troubleshooting: Missing Authentication Token

ExtendSync Outlook | How to resolve Missing Authentication Token error

Updated this week

ExtendSync follows NetSuite’s Role-Based Access Control and requires specific permissions to authenticate using NetSuite’s secure Three-Step Authorization (3SA) process.

Error

If your role is missing required permissions, you may see this error:

"message": "Missing Authentication Token",

"type": "MISSING_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN",

"statusCode": 404,

"hint": "The HTTP method or resource may not be supported."

Reason of Error

Your NetSuite role does not have the permissions required for ExtendSync to authenticate or communicate with NetSuite via API.

Resolution

Please contact your NetSuite Administrator and request the following updates to your role:

Step 1: Setup> User/Roles > Manage Roles > Customize or Edit

Step 2: Go to Permissions > Setup.

Step 3: Add the following and set to Full

  • SOAP Web Services

  • User Access Tokens

  • Log in using Access Tokens

Step 4: Close Outlook then relaunch app and log in to ExtendSync.


Why These Permissions Matter

ExtendSync uses NetSuite’s secure token-based 3-Step Authorization (3SA), which fully supports:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  • Single Sign-On (SSO)

  • Any SAML-based Identity Provider, including Azure AD, Google, and Okta

This modern authentication flow ensures strong protection of your NetSuite data.

Ultimately, NetSuite security is a shared responsibility between NetSuite, your organization, your users, and the solution providers you choose to work with. When required permissions are missing, NetSuite will block authentication and return errors such as “Missing Authentication Token.”

Ensuring the correct permissions are enabled helps keep your data secure and ensures ExtendSync can operate as intended.
