insufficient_permissions error in paper doc api

Hi,

 

I am retreiving a list of docs using docs/list api. Then Im using the doc id to download and get folder info with docs/download and docs/get_folder_info apis respectively. All the doc ids from the list gives me result for download and folder info except one. Any doc api I call with this doc id gives me below error.

{
  "error_summary": "insufficient_permissions/...",
  "error": { ".tag": "insufficient_permissions" } }

 

I am using user endpoint to run these apis.
