Hi  
I’m going thru the tickets tutorial. I am using the Xano Snipit from WeWeb  
When setting up the user authentication, the first two steps, Get authentication Token and Store token test successfully. However I get the 401 error when tring to retrieve the user. ([jane@email.com](mailto:jane@email.com))  
Can someone point me where i should be looking for this error?  
Thanks  
J

Update: When I run in debug on xano it does not return an error.

Hi @clone337 👋

Ok, I just tried in one of my projects and everything works fine so it’s probably not a bug.

Can you check a couple of things?

1- in your “store token” action, are you binding to the result from the previous action?

2- in your plugin configuration, did you update the “User endpoint” with the endpoint from your own Xano project?

I checked the fields recommended by Joyce, I think they are ok.

Hi @clone337

If you look at my first screenshot, you’ll notice that I bound to `authToken` and the current value only shows the auth token value:

 ![CleanShot 2023-10-03 at 18.21.55@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/8/82e28013f75c5649234806c7947dac6faebe826c.jpeg)

In your screenshot, I can see you bound to the `result`, not the `authToken` inside the result, so the current value is `authToken: "eykj..."` and Xano doesn’t understand what you are asking for because it expects the access token on its own, not the object that contains the access token.

Does that make sense?

Joyce, it makes sense now, I’m good.  
Thank you for your patience!
