The /2/sharing/update_folder_member endpoint does support the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header, but only in the "Team Admin" mode, meaning it can "access content of team folders and team spaces but not the team members' home namespaces". So, for example, if that namespace is for a shared folder in the account's home namespace, you can't use the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin header and would need to instead use the Dropbox-API-Select-User header.
As for the version of the call where you do use the Dropbox-API-Select-User header, as Здравко noted, it looks like that did succeed, but returned a confusing warning message. For reference, if you print out the status code, I expect it is a 200, indicating success. I'll ask the team to look into this to correct that confusing warning message though.

Hi mikechiu,
At the beginning, post how exactly you launched the failing request to sharing/update_folder_member. By now you listed the members (using /2/sharing/list_folder_members) and it works as far as can be seen. Also, check if by any chance you have used/selected to update member that's not listed and make sure you (the one that makes changes) are member of that folder with permission to do so (either owner or editor - something required).
Good luck.
