[chef] Chef API User Permissions?

[Eric Herot < >]

Hi Chefs,

So I'm trying to set up a daemon to automatically update our Chef assets whenever a change is made to a specific branch on our Chef repo (data bags, roles, and environments only…cookbooks are handled with Berkshelf).

I created an "admin client" with my local copy of knife and set the daemon up to use the generated key.  Reading and updating assets on the Chef server (Hosted Chef) seems to work fine, but creating assets causes a Permission Denied error.

Can anyone tell me how to update the permissions on the UI so as to allow an Admin Client to create an asset?  The UI is very confusing and the obvious things don't seem to have worked…

Eric
