require your help in detailed understanding of the issue
Hi biswas_nu,
Your issue is that tokens don't impersonate anybody personally when they authenticate a team. File access of any type require user/member to be acting though (the team on its own cannot be acting side)! That's why you need to add member information while working on team account files with team tokens as noted in the error message. One thing that is missing in the error message is that you can make team folder content list as admin too, not only as user having access to there (i.e. you may and have to use either selectAdmin or selectUser option).
Hope this helps.

Hm..🤔 To be honest, I'm not certain what exactly you mean here.
If you mean that when you get token for non-team account or token for a team member without team scopes it works, then of course would be strange to be otherwise. Such a token doesn't represent a team, but a person (either as an account owner or pointing precise team member - not the entire team). That's why in such a case you don't need to specify exact person explicitly - it's already specified on authentication and associated to the token.
If you mean something else, clarify what you mean exactly.
Hope this clarifies matter.
