API permissions independent from Dashboard?

Hi. I have permissions to the Infoblox Dashboard, using MS Edge. I log in using my Windows username and password. It shows my username in the top-right corner when I log in.

 

I want to use the Infoblox WAPI, but all the API calls I test in MS Edge:

yield the same results:

  • Prompts for username/password. (I use the same as I used for the Dashboard)
  • Displays the error message: 

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

 

I am putting "v2.12" in the URL per the version shown at /wapidoc/index.html.

 

Do I need additional permissions to use the API?

If I can log into the UI with username/password, should I be able to log into the API using the same username/password?

Not necesarily.  The group you're a member of, would need the "API" checkbox checked, to allow you to use API.

Thank you, that was it. I appreciate the feedback as I cannot see administrative rights inside the tool.
