Error 401

Hey Team,
 
Got an issue in a canvas app where users are unable to download attachments from a dataverse table.
 
It seems to work with my system admin account but doesn't seem to work for any other users (who don't have system admin). I'm assuming is a privilege issue, is there a miscellaneous privilege required to download attachments from tables?
 
They seem to just get the Error 401 error when trying to download the attachment.
 
The users can upload attachments fine it seems its just when downloading.
 
I can see some similar issues in the community regarding this but seems that none of them have solutions so am reaching out in last hope.

    This is the expected behavior. The API requires an access token to access it. If the user hits the env URL first, the access token will be generated automatically, so the Download function will work.
