Ejabberd: API error: Account does not have the right to perform the operation

[jjdp]

What version of ejabberd are you using?

17.07

What operating system (version) are you using?

Ubuntu 16.04

How did you install ejabberd (source, package, distribution)?

distribution

What did not work as expected? Are there error messages in the log? What
was the unexpected behavior? What was the expected result?

I'm getting an "AccessRules: Account does not have the right to perform the operation" error

api_permissions:
  "parse server":
    who:
      - ip: "myIP"
    what:
      - "register"
      - "registered_users"
      - "registered_vhosts"
      - "change_password"
      - "unregister"

Double checked on the logs:

API call registered_vhosts [] from ::FFFF:myIP:22139

sample raw request from Postman:

POST /api/registered_vhosts HTTP/1.1
Host: myserver:5280
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 750df6e6-25c0-5003-2dfa-116c85bb6c48

{}

Any idea what seems to be the problem? Can I not access admin commands even if I allow my server's IP?

With those settings:

listen:
  - 
    port: 5280
    ## ip: "::"
    module: ejabberd_http
    request_handlers:
      "/api": mod_http_api

api_permissions:
  "public commands":
    who:
      - ip: "127.0.0.1/8"
    what:
      - "registered_vhosts"

And this client:

<?php
$url='localhost:5280/api/registered_vhosts/';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$output=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($output);
?>

The qurey returns correctly:

$ php mha3-registeredvhosts-httpapi.php 
["example.com","localhost"]1

And I see in the logs:

17:59:14.123 [info] API call registered_vhosts [] ({127,0,0,1})

Notice that I set the listener to IPv4, and granted access to an IPv4 address in api_permissions. If you use IPv6, you may need to retouch all this.
