Recently I was attempting to create a Folder object via the JavaScript API and encountered this error:
Permission denied: not allowed to 'create' 'Task'. Missing the required 'Create objects (sequence,shot,task)' permission.
I was providing the `name`, `parent_id`, `object_type_id` during my attempt, and the given error was very strange to me because my user should have administrator permissions for the project I was modifying.
After a while I realized that I needed to also provide the `project_id` so that the API could figure out whether I had the appropriate permissions to make this change. Still, if the `project_id` is required to determine permissions, it would have been more useful if the error message specifically called that out instead of sending me down a rabbit hole of checking my permissions and API keys.
@jen_at_floyd we are looking on adding your proposed fix (with few changes) to the api 2.0 branch.
If you want you can test this before cloning the repo , changing branch and installing it into a virtualenv.
This fix is likely to end up in the api 2.0 branch soon though, let us know in case you test.
Cheers.
