Cannot authenticate with non-root user?

[gouldingken]

I am looking to use direct browser calls to the server so I would like to use a username and password other than my root login credentials.

I noted in this instruction that this is the recommended approach:

Please understand the change of the administrator email can break your API calls in case you use it in the authorization header. In this case, we recommend creating a custom jsreport user and use it in the API calls instead.

I've created said user on my server, provided a password and checked all the permissions boxes, but I'm getting a 401 Unauthorized. When I switch to test with my root username and password it works fine.

[admin]

This needs to work.

You have selected these checkboxes right?

If you use jsreportonline... Does the URL you POST to include your specific subdomain?

https://xxx.jsreportonline.net/api/report

I tried creating a new user, checked those boxes and now it works!

I noticed that if I don't have the boxes checked I get a 403 Forbidden rather then 401 Unauthorized which seems correct.

The first user I created still doesn't work, but that's not an issue for me.
