Get all shared links for a file
I have a .net app that needs to get all of the shared links for a particular file. The only way I can see to do this is to:
Get a DropboxTeamClient with "team_info.read", "team_data.member", "gr...
An access token is just a string, so you could technically transmit it using whatever communication mechanism you wish. If you give the access token string, which was created by authorization from an admin, to a non-admin user, they could then technically run the same code to make a DropboxTeamClient, list groups, list members, operate as members, and list shared links.
That wouldn't be recommended though, as a matter of security, as a team-linked access token like that enables access that a non-admin doesn't have.
The app is using team scopes, and has been authorized by an admin (me). Everything works fine on my computer using my Dropbox account.
How does a non-admin user, on a different computer, get access to the resulting team connected token? Do you have a code example of how the non-admin user would create a new DropboxTeamClient, using the token I created as an admin?
The goal is to be able to have a non-admin user get all of the members of the team, and check the shared links for each member.

OK, so it sounds like what I'm trying to do isn't really recommended. I'll try to approach this problem a different way. Thank you for all your help.
