create_shared_link_with_settings with expires in setting parameter doesn't work

For the request:

{"path":"/Get Started with Dropbox.pdf","settings":{"requested_visibility":"public","expires":"2016-03-04T14:27:00Z"}}

I got the response always, and it passed if I removed expires.

{"error_summary": "settings_error/not_authorized/", "error": {".tag": "settings_error", "settings_error": {".tag": "not_authorized"}}}

Known issue?

From https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings (expand SharedLinkSettingsError):

not_authorized Void User is not allowed to modify the settings of this link. Note that basic users can only set RequestedVisibility.public as the SharedLinkSettings.requested_visibility and cannot set SharedLinkSettings.expires

Is it possible you're attempting this call with a basic user?

I use a implicit oauth flow to get a token and call the API, don't know what's "basic user" here.

A basic user is a user with a free Dropbox account. (Paid users are either Pro, Business, or Enterprise users.)

Got it, thanks!
