Manager for Google Shared Drive has limited access to files on Shared Drive

Question

I'm the manager of a google shared drive. I have code that produces files on the drive automatically. When I run the code, I have full access to the produced files. For example, I can unhide the hidden sheets. However, When other users run the code, I DO NOT have full access to the produced files. For example, I CANNOT then unhide the hidden sheets.

My understanding of shared drives is that the Managers have full access to everything. Clearly, I'm missing something.

Advice and insight appreciated.

I'm creating this community Wiki for further reference since the issue was solved in the comments. The problem was related to the access levels inside the Share Drive. The fix to the problem was to add other managers to Share Drive as mentioned by the community in the comments.
