Get account info using Dropbox for Business API access token

Nadia K.3

We are trying to get information about the user who has authorized Dropbox for Business through our application.

We can retrieve a list of users in a team and basic team info, but how to determine which user has performed the authorization?

We are using Python dropbox api v. 1.6 and DropboxOAuth2Flow.finish only returns the access_token (user_id and url_state are both empty or None).

The API doesn't currently return information about which admin of a team performed a Dropbox for Business API app authorization, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

I see. Thanks for quick response!

This would be a great feature to have. Otherwise, it's ****** to know which user to impersonate by default.

The Dropbox API now offers a way to determine which admin authorized a particular access token:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-token-get_authenticated_admin

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding method for this endpoint.

In the Python SDK, that's:
