API Token, can only reach certain endpoints

[softwareDude]

Good day Proxmox community,

I have set up ProxMox running in my home lab, name the node "nuc"
I set up API Token for root@pam (this is just a test for now), saved it in text file from a client host (my laptop). so theoretcally, this API Token should have access to all methods and all endpoints.

when i try calling some endpoints, it works, but i have seen others that essentially just return back "data": []. It's most after /api2/json/nodes/nuc/<some endpoints dont work here>


examples below

ENDPOINTS THAT WORK
curl -k 'https://proxmox:8006/api2/json/nodes/nuc/' -H @APITokenID | jq
{
"data": [
{ "name": "aplinfo"
},
...........

curl -k 'https://proxmox:8006/api2/json/nodes/nuc/network' -H @APITokenID | jq


ENDPOINTS THAT DONT WORK
nuc/qemu, nuc/status, nuc/storage

i just get
{
"data":
}

-------------------------
funny thing, I tried it from web browser, capture the full cURL command, and see that it uses Cookie, and it can call the endpoints that return empty data back.
so I run the cURL command to those endpoints, using -H Cookie, it works, but I changed out the -H Cookie to -H @APITokenID (where i store the token), i get empty data back
but i would like to explore more options regarding using API Token.

I would appreciate some assistance on this.

THank you very much.

hi folks, i just figured it out.

when creating the api token, i left the "privilege separation" checked, without knowing.
so i edited it, left it unchecked, now my root api token can call others.

Hope this helps everyone
