Proxmox Backup client Error: permission check failed.

[abalcha]

So, i configured a pbs and i also added proxmox backup client on a standalone machine and tring to take backup from the standalone machine to the pbs and i added this script to the client machine. I create a new user which is called CBackup i added an admin permission to the datastore/JU-BACKUP and the scrip looks like this
#!/bin/bash
export PBS_PASSWORD='ambdk'
export PBS_USER_AND_API_TOKEN='CBackup@pbs!backup'
export PBS_HOST='10.140.5.224:8007'
export PBS_DATASTORE='JU-BACKUP'
export PBS_REPOSITORY="${PBS_USER_AND_API_TOKEN}@${PBS_HOST}:${PBS_DATASTORE}"
echo $PBS_REPOSITORY $PBS_PASSWORD
proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/home/Database_Backup/ --repository 10.140.5.224:JU-BACKUP

saved it as pbs-client.sh
when i run ./pbs-client.sh it keeps saying
Starting backup protocol: Tue Feb 21 11:20:35 2023
Error: permission check failed.


what is the problem??

Hi,

Would it be clearer if you access the user directly? An API token's permissions are limited to those of its associated user, though they may be even more restricted if not properly configured. If works from the user directly, I would make sure from the permissions assigned to that user [0] [1]
