User part of a TEAM does not have different Root Namespace Id than Home Namespace Id
Team, can you please help me on this.
Does older User Account created prior to Team Space configuration can also have different Root NameSpace ID comared to Home Namespace ID?
For some of the user account, even though they are part of a TEAM, querying on user's current account API results something like this: that is same namespace id for both Root and Home.
"root_info": { ".tag": "user", "root_namespace_id": "XX", "home_namespace_id": "XX", }
For users on teams that are not using the "team space" configuration, their root_namespace_id and home_namespace_id will be identical. You can find more information in the Namespace Guide.
To check whether a user is a member of a team at all, you should check the FullAccount.team value returned by /2/users/get_current_account. It will be set if they are a member of a team, and will not be set if they are not.
