Trying to work with my local Metabase instance and attempting (very unsuccessfully) to access the API. I’m carefully following the instructions here: Metabase API Docs
I created an API Key. I tried the example GET request:
$ curl -H 'x-api-key: ' -X GET 'http://localhost:13001/api/permissions/group'
You don't have permissions to do that.

Are there any workarounds for this?
