A Team Files system user handles the information request to your instance. Jira and Confluence create this user when installing the Team Files app.
However, the information request will fail if your instance doesn’t allow new users to access the product or adds them, by default, to a group that doesn’t have the global permission to “Browse Users and Groups.”
