    Yes, scoped apps can still use the old authorizeFromController method. It will just use the default scopes set for the app in the App Console.

Have you migrated your app registration to scopes yet? You can do so via the "Permissions" tab on the app's page on the App Console. You'll need to do so before you can use the new authorizeFromControllerV2 method. (Apologies for the generic error message!)

    Sorry, I missed this step,
    If I do so I still can use the old version of the code?
