Dropbox Community ModeratorI see you're getting an "Invalid select user id format" error, which indicates that the value you're sending in the "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" header is not of the expected format. That seems to be coming from your credential.team_member_id variable.
Note that "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" (and "Dropbox-API-Select-User") expect a "team member ID", not an "account ID". You can find more information on this feature in the documentation here under "Member file access".
It sounds like you're passing in an account_id instead of a team_member_id. You can instead get the team_member_id from a number of endpoints on the API, such as /2/team/members/get_info_v2, which is team_members_get_info_v2 in the Python SDK.
