Dropbox Community ModeratorIf you use a "Dropbox API" app, that operates on individual users accounts, so you don't need to specify this additional information when calling user-specific endpoints.
If you use a "Dropbox Business API" app, that operates on entire Business teams, so you need to specify which team member to operate on when calling user-specific endpoints, i.e., using the "team member file access" feature. The documentation for that feature can be found here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access
The value should be the team member ID for whichever member you want to operate on, e.g., as returned in the member list:

(Also, note that if you don't need the Business API functionality, you don't need to use a "Dropbox Business API" app. You can just use the "Dropbox API" app, even to connect to a particular account that happens to be on a Business team.)
