Hm.. You can neither identify single member nor team using "client_id and secret" only!!! The "client_id" is associated to and identifies the application not any user. Here "client" means application that behaves as client to Dropbox server (client-server link), not something else (like some user working with your application). 🙂 Take care with assumptions. Secret is used to confirm application (not user) identity whenever needed (in many cases can be avoided - there is more secure way - PKCE).

Users/members/teams are identified with different token types (access token mandatory and usually refresh token too - for long term access). There are 2 ways to setup your application - personal configuration (without any team scopes and you don't need to identify the member additionally) and team configuration (you need additional header). No other way.

Something else, that may confuse you, is when you use personal configuration, you cannot add application as a team application! Did you try this when the error get up? In such a case your application can be used only private by team members only - every one on its behalf! Don't try to assign it to the entire team at once (again, it's private/personal).

Good luck.
