When an external user invited to a target file as a collaborator looks at the collaborator list of the target file, the display on the browser and the collaborator list of the target file obtained by the API are different.

Excerpt of API call result -------------------------------------------- {   "entries": [     {       "type": "collaboration",       "created_by": {         "type": "user",         "name": "box_test2",         "login": "***email address removed for privacy***"       },       "status": "accepted",       "accessible_by": {         "type": "user",         "name": "box_test",         "login": "***email address removed for privacy***"       },       "role": "editor",       "item": {         "type": "file",         "name": "11-1.txt"       }     },     {       "type": "collaboration",       "created_by": {         "type": "user",         "name": "box_test2",         "login": "***email address removed for privacy***"       },       "status": "accepted",       "accessible_by": {         "type": "user",         "name": "collab11_11-1_boxtext",         "login": "***email address removed for privacy***"       },       "role": "editor",       "item": {         "type": "file",         "name": "11-1.txt"       }     }   ] }

 

In addition, when the owner sees the collaborator list of the target file on the browser, it is as follows.

 

How can an external user get the same information displayed on the browser with the API?

 

Thank you

  Unfortunately this is expected behavior. Because this is an external user they are going to be limited in the information they are able to obtain about the content.

  Hi,

  Thank you for the reply.

   

  For example, can an external user acquire information by using As-User? (I'm not familiar with As-User)

   

  Thank you

  Hi ,

   

  No, the user will need to have a certain level of admin privilege to use As-User, which an external user will not have.

  Hi,

   

  Thank you for the reply.

  I don't understand As-User, so I will investigate it.
