I searched the discussions for my problem but did not find anything conclusive.

I am trying to access the end point: “/admin/api/2024-01/orders/450789469/fulfillment_orders.json”

I get the error message: “The api_client does not have the required permission(s).”

The store of which I am a collaborator has my collaborator permissions set to “All”

How can I get permissions to access the end point above? Does my parent store need to this or is this something i can do?

This access is not associated with any app - I am using an api client with curl access.

Below is the returned header with which the access fails:
