Not able to List shared links having edit access without file id
Hi, I am using below API to list down all files having shared links. I am making API call for each dropbox team member passing team member id in header (Dropbox-API-Select-User).

Dropbox StaffIt sounds like you're referring to the kind of link with "/scl/fi", which can enable editing access, and you're calling /2/sharing/list_shared_links without specifying a "path" value to list all shared links, but aren't seeing the "/scl/fi" links returned.
These "/scl" links aren't standard shared links, so they don't get listed in that case, and don't behave exactly the same way as standard shared links. Calling /2/sharing/list_shared_links without specifying a "path" value won't return this kind of "/scl" link; I'll send this along to the team to ask them to change it to do so, but I can't promise if/when that might be done.
Instead, to retrieve these kinds of links, you do need to specify the "path" parameter (which can contain either the path or file ID), like you mentioned, for the particular item you wish to look up. If you do so, it will return those "/scl" links. You would need to call for each path for which you want to retrieve "/scl" links though.
Thanks Greg-DB for replying and making it clear, Do we need to open an enhancement ticket for listing /scl links with API /2/sharing/list_shared_links without specifying a "path" value? As we want to list them for each user and not for each file.

No, there's no need to open anything else. This forum thread serves as the reference to your request. Thanks!
