"All Files" differs from API folder/0

Hi,
I am authenticating using JWTAuth and impersonating the connection but the root folder (from API) only shows 2 items.

Here is my code:
auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('box_JWT.json')

client = Client(auth)

user_to_impersonate = client.user(user_id='18078459761')

user_client = client.as_user(user_to_impersonate)

print("user_client_root_folder")

items = user_client_root_folder.get_items()

for item in items:

print('{0} {1} is named "{2}"'.format(item.type.capitalize(), item.id, item.name))

print("------------------")

The result is:
user_client_root_folder
Folder 152730599665 is named "My Box Notes"
File 898778670248 is named "Get Started with Box.pdf"
------------------

And my "All Files" is:

Best,

J. Bosco

Hi Joao

You cannot access content that has been shared from an external account with the as-user header. You have to create a token for the user and use this for your API calls.
