In the response object from the request sent to /team/members/list_v2[continue] endpoint, you should check if the roles property is present. The information contained in this property provides the role_id, the type of admin role the user has (under name), and a short description of the role.
As such:
"roles": [
{
"role_id": "pid_dbtmr:AAAAAFMcx6E0tax39",
"name": "Team",
"description": "Manage everything and access all permissions"
}
]
Additionally, a request to /team/members/get_available_team_member_roles provides the available team roles for the connected team, along with each role's respective role_id — for roles defined by Dropbox, this ID is the same across all teams.
This information could then be used to filter through the list of returned users.
I hope you find this information helpful!
