Getting files from a non root namespace

Hi I want to be able to track all changes in all folders including in namespaces that are not a root user's root folder I use a team token.  When I use /list_folder with the Dropbox-API-Select-...

    So seems as if using Dropbox-Api-Select-Admin header solves the problem
    However, it does not appear in your documentation

    so the answer is using this request:
    POST /2/files/list_folder
    Host: https://api.dropboxapi.com
    Authorization: Bearer <token>
    Content-Type: application/json
    Dropbox-Api-Select-Admin: dbmid:AAA...Rw

    {
    "path": "ns:2464786048",
    "recursive": true
    }
