title: Getting access to r_basicprofile when I already have permission on LinkedIn api v2
body: <p>After numerous exchanges with LinkedIn "Experts" none of them was able to help and do anything but copy paste the FAQ.</p>
  
  <p>I'm preparing a client's platform for the v2 migration and encountered major problems for getting user data.</p>
  
  <p>I currently have access to many fields including the <code>r_basicprofile</code> as can be seen in my app's auth tab:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kiCDf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kiCDf.png" alt="auth tab"></a></p>
  
  <p>However upon requesting the endpoint </p>
  
  <p><code>/me</code> I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Not enough permissions to access: GET /me</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have also searched the new API documentation and there is no mention on how to request access to the <code>r_basicprofile</code> same on the FAQ the only link I could find was this one:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs</a></p>
  
  <p>However it doesn't specify which one gives access to <code>r_basicprofile</code></p>
  
  <p>Our app is aimed at professionals and we require access to more info than just first, last name and email. Currently we work with positions, headlines and more.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get access to the r_basicprofile and specifically the following fields:</p>
  
  <p>'headline','summary','positions','specialties','location','industry','current-share','num-connections','num-connections-capped',</p>
