Unable to list linked devices
We want our app to be able to list linked devices without having access to files. We've granted the app the "Team auditing" permission type but when we try using the team_devices_list_team_devices() method we get a permissions error. Please advise, thank you!
- That ValidationError should be fixed in the latest release of the Python SDK, currently v8.6.0. Please update to that and try again.

This functionality is only available to the "team member file access" permission. There isn't a way around that unfortunately. Apologies I don't have better news for you!- aldo195Explorer | Level 3
Is there a way to get some details about the devices (e.g. just the name) in one of the generated reports? Those are accessible to the audit user.

The team_reports_get_devices, team_log_get_events, and team_log_get_events_continue methods are accessible to team auditing apps, so you can use those if they're sufficient for your use case.
The team_reports_get_devices method gives you statistics about the numbers of devices, but team_log_get_events, and team_log_get_events_continue do give some information about specific devices e.g., via EventType.device_link_success with DeviceLinkSuccessDetails.
