I have a simple embedded app that can acquire session token using app bridge. I am sending the session token back to back-end, which is then acquiring access token exchanging the session token - following steps mentioned here [1] . The returned json also contains scope information , which is currently set to 'read_products'.

 

In all these steps, I can't seem to find the step to adjust the scope. From documentation, it appears I have to use shopify managed installation[2], using TOML, to adjust the scope. But is it possible to adjust the scope without using shopify managed installation(TOML)?

 

If it is not possible, I will switch Authorization code grant flow[3] where I can explicitly set the scopes in the scope parameter in the OAuth url.
