Make API calls as admin #547
Description
I'm trying to delete all files in the trash for each user of an enterprise if those files are older than 90 days. I'm a Box Co-Admin, I have all permission enabled as well as Global Content Manager enabled for my app and the app was refreshed after these permissions were set.
When I run my python script I am able to delete some files but not others with seemingly no differences in permissions between those files. I get error 403 access denied for those undeleted files. There are non legal holds on the undeleted files. I am also not able to go into that users account through the admin console and delete those files in the trash manually. I'll post my code below. I run my app with a developer token from my own account. Any help would be appreciated.
`#!/usr/bin/env python3
