"Get credentials error for pardot_api, API returned an auth error: Parameter code is required"

Solution

Make sure the application Improvado Pardot OAuth App wasn't blocked in Salesforce.
Make sure you grant the following permissions to the API user:

Can’t Connect New User to the App

Issue

Starting in September 2025, Salesforce restricts the use of uninstalled connected apps. Any new user attempting to access these apps will be blocked. This applies even to apps using the OAuth 2.0 device flow and even if certain users had previously authorized them.

As a result, newly added users cannot connect to uninstalled apps unless specific permissions are granted.

Solution

Grant access to trusted users with the correct permissions. The required permissions depend on the API Access Control.

If API Access Control is enabled → only the “Use Any API Client” permission allows users to connect to uninstalled apps.
If API Access Control is not enabled → trusted users need the “Approve Uninstalled Connected Apps” permission. This new permission (introduced in Summer ’25) allows trusted users to self-authorize and continue using uninstalled apps.

Important: Assign these permissions only to highly trusted users, as they provide broad access to apps outside the standard installation process.
