Unable to upload the avatar for asset

[Diwakar Murthy]

We are trying to get and update the avatar to an asset object. 

But we also get a 401 error, the same token is working for other operations like updating the asset s attributes value.

Response ::

{

"errorMessages": [

"Sorry, you do not have permission to perform this action. PermissionInsightException: User <ID> didn't have correct permission (admin)."

],

"errors": {}

}

Hi @Diwakar Murthy 

On the asset API endpoint on Cloud there is no avatar option, only icon, but only get options.

You might have used the server API.

Hi @Marc - Devoteam , we are referring to this document. 
And it is possible to update Avatar for assets via this Api. 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-upload-avatars-on-assets-objects-using-rest-api-1128301129.html

Wonder why this needs admin access via api to update avatar. 

As we are able to update the avatar from front end as a user.

Hi @Diwakar Murthy 

This is because the icons (avatars) in assets in Cloud are on global level, only admins can make changes here.

Icons (avatars) are not maintained on a schema level.
