Combination of Type of Access in app on Dropbox Business API
Hi,
When creating an app for the Dropbox Business API I am given these 4 options of type of access:
Team information – Information about the team and aggregate usage data.
Team auditing – Team information, plus the team‘s detailed activity log.
Team member file access – Team information and auditing, plus the ability to perform any action as any team member.
Team member management – Team information, plus the ability to add, edit, and delete team members.
For the app I am developing I need the combination of Team member file access and Team member management.
Is there any option to do that? Or does the 'Team Member Management' includes the 'Team Member File Access'?
Regards,
Ronan

Hi Ronan, Team member management does not include Team member file access, or the other way around. There isn't currently a way to register for both on the same app, so you'll need to register two apps. We'll consider this a feature request.

Hi Gregory,
Thanks for the quick response.
We will implement your suggestion of registering two apps and prompting our users to connect their account twice.
Please let me know if that feature gets pushed to the top of the list of future request so I can then change my platform architecture.

I just wanted to follow up on this to let you know that we've released "scopes" functionality on the Dropbox API, which you can use to access various different pieces of team functionality from the same app.
You can find more information about the release in our blog post here:
