I'm just getting started with Box.  I am building a tool that needs to be able to determine if an arbitrary user has access to a folder.  My app is running as me, klaird, but wants to know if another user, rsmith, has access to a folder

 

The only way I see to do this (but have not tested) is to get the collaboration IDs for a folder then step through them, checking accessible_by for the user of interest.  Is that a viable way to do it?  Is there a better way?  I'll be running this on several folders.

 

Thanks.

   One way to test this is calling the Get Folder Items endpoint using the As-User header. The As-User header lets you make API calls as a specific user. If you get a 403 error making this API call, the user does not have access to that folder.

  Thank you, Murtza.

   

  As-user looks like a great solution.  It looks like this will require a Service Account so it will be awhile before I can make use of it.
