team data.member permission implicitly checked team data.governance.write

Question

I am configuring App client with Dropbox.
In Permission tab,&nbsp; when i checked team data.member permission, it implicitly checked team data.governance.write.&nbsp; Is this bug ?
I just want configure permission with ready-only access.

Hello Megan,I want to get all groups &amp; user information with read-only permission only.So when click on "groups.read" only , it gives me error as ,But&nbsp;&nbsp;Combining Team and User scopes requires team_data.member.So i have to check&nbsp;team_data.member checkbox which implicitly enable&nbsp;team data.governance.write and i dont want any write permission.

I see, it sounds like our API section in the Community might be more helpful sharing any additional info with you, so I am going to be moving your message there sagar_lonkar.&nbsp;

This is the expected behavior; the team_data.member scope has a dependency on the team_data.governance.write scope so the team_data.governance.write scope is required if/when you enable the team_data.member scope.

This is a bad implementation. If I want a read-only integration with access to read team info, why should I be forced to grant a very permissive write scope such as the team_data.governance.write? Would love to hear the explanation of such behavior, and if this has any workaround that does not require write scope.
