App to pull access stats on files (no admin/co-admin privileges)

Hi,

I have an app in an enterprise subscription, which pulls data from a Box folder via the Python SDK. The app is the owner of the folder that it interacts with.

My personal user is then co-owner of this folder, and as a member of this, I can via the browser check the 'Access Stats' of all files in the folder. I would like to do this via the app and Python SDK; so I looked at the events endpoint, but unfortunately my app has no admin or co-admin privileges (which is a prereq. for accessing this endpoint).

Is there a way to get the 'access stat' information of a file in a folder via an app that is the owner of such folder (but not admin or co-admin)?

Perhaps I should try a whole other angle - any suggestions?

Hey Christina,

Unfortunately it is currently not possible to get this kind of information without admin access. If you'd like to see this feature added, please make sure to submit your feedback to our product team at pulse.box.com!
