Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am having dropbox business standard plan. I am trying to delete a paper doc created by a team member using API hwowver getting error as insufficient permission. Is it possible only using advanced plan?

Even the doc owner gets same message. I created paper doc from api explorer and tried to delete doc using
POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/paper/docs/permanently_delete api
This is the error
{
"error_summary": "insufficient_permissions/..",
"error": {".tag": "insufficient_permissions"
}
@saritafurtado I just tried creating and then deleting the newly created Paper document, using /2/paper/docs/create and /2/paper/docs/permanently_delete, respectively, in the API v2 Explorer, and it worked as expected.
Can you double check that you are using the correct access token and doc ID for the /2/paper/docs/permanently_delete call?
If so, please open an API ticket with more details so we can look into it specifically for you.
