# Authorize user

`GET /authorize`

Authorize a user by sending them through the [Box](https://box.com)
website and request their permission to act on their behalf.

This is the first step when authenticating a user using
OAuth 2.0. To request a user's authorization to use the Box APIs
on their behalf you will need to send a user to the URL with this
format.
