Error code 401 being returned for non-administrator user

Error code 401 being returned for non-administrator user.

I have:

• Used HTTPS to access HomeAssistant (with a public certificate)
• Checked that my JSON Syntax is correct (options 2, 3, or 4 or otherwise)
• Checked that my JSON follows the schema (options 2, 3, or 4)
• Used the online editor to check my JSON against HomeAssistant (option 1)
• Checked the Docs
• Checked the Troubleshooting Guide

To Reproduce

1. Made a functional setup for an administrator user
2. Copy the same setup to a user account that is not an administrator
3. Set up a new API key for the user and copy across
4. Opening on Garmin gives "HTTP requset returned error code = 401" and no functionality
5. Setting the user account to administrator removes the error and gives normal functionality

Expected behavior
Did not expect that administrator level user account was necessary

Garmin Device (please complete the following information):

• Model: Forerunner 245 Music

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhoneSE
• OS: iOS17.4.1

Additional context
Similar to issue 39, but without battery reporting being turned on?

We have non-Administrators using the application just fine. Your steps for recreating the bug may well not work for another JSON file. We know from previous experience that issues have been localised to a specific menu item.

• Can you isolate which menu item(s) is/are causing the issue as that provides a clue? Without this information this issue will have to be parked as it is too non-specific.
• Did the web-based configuration editor also fail for the non-Administrator user? The reason for asking is I'm trying to discriminate between the JSON menu file causing the 401 error (that should be independent of any API access and hence independent of any API key) and the API call doing so.
• Do you have any insights into how permissions may affect HA entities?

This may well be a show stopper. We did not expect Administrator priviledges to be getting in the way either. There is absolutely no promise this can be fixed.
