Any help will be really appreciated, thanks

Solution

  • Every Sub folder should refer to the 'inherit from parent ' in the auth method . In this case, make sure the sub folder ACCOUNT has the auth method set to 'inherit from parent'. And make sure to click the save button before exporting the collection file.
