Hi Ramya4,

You should make sure your application has permission to do that. Get in your App console. Select the desired application there. Turn to tab Permissions. Scroll down to "Team Scopes"-"Members" and make sure that checkbox before "members.read" is set.

Even when above is accomplished, you are not ready yet. Your current token is carry previous scopes (scopes are "cached" within the token). Resign the current token and reauthorize the application anew, so new scopes can take effect. 😉

Hope this helps.
