Can’t add OAuth 2.0 scopes LinkedIn

I don’t have the ability to change OAuth scope in the Linkedin developers page. That’s why while trying to get an authorization code I get this error:

error=unauthorized_scope_error&error_description=Scope+%%26quot%%3Br_basicprofile%%26quot%%3B+is+not+authorized+for+your+application

enter image description here

You can see the OAuth scopes section in my profile. I just can’t set up any scopes.

Answer

Navigate to Products in the LinkedIn Developer Console and select Sign in with LinkedIn.

The verification process takes a few moments and then r_emailaddress and r_liteprofile should appear under your permissions.
