Description

@CodeNameTheOnlyOne

what permissions are required for the api user to connect.
i attempted to create a group with only ViewSessionGroup granted to all session groups.
i plan on only using this to export data so only read access is needed.
when i connect i get this.
Connect-CWC -Server $Server -Credentials $Credentials
Connect-CWC : An exception has been thrown.
--> The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
