Trados Team API - Authentication failed

Question

Greetings! 
 We are trying to use the API to get project information from Trados Team via Get Project. For that purpose, we created a Service User in Team, assigned Project Manager role, then used the "Integrations" feature to create an access token. 
 I then downloaded the Postman collection and made these settings:

As tenant ID, I used the 24 character ID following "languagecloud.sdl.com/lc/t/" in the dashboard URL:

As you can see, I get "Authentication failed" without further details. As I understand the documentation, the parameter "client ID" and "client secret" are only required to generate an access token. Since this has already been generated in the Team UI, I should not require these, correct? 
 What am I missing here? 
 Thanks! 
 Best regards, 
 Andreas

Update: it works now! Thanks for putting me on track, Anca! 
 Detail: the "access token" one gets through the UI does... nothing... What is required instead? A custom application and from it: client ID and client secret. Use it in the "Authentication" POST call. There you will receive the *real* bearer token which is very different from the access token. With this freshly received bearer token, the get project call works. 
 So what is the access token from the UI integrations page for? As far as I can tell: absolutely nothing. &macr;\_(ツ)_/&macr;
