ReadPersonalContacts Permission for RingCentral API

I'm trying to access user contacts via the RingCentral API using password authentication of a Super Admin. I've given the app Contacts and ReadContacts permissions, but when I try to access the contacts list of a specific extension, I get this error:

"errorCode" : "CMN-408",
  "message" : "[ReadPersonalContacts] permission required",
  "errors" : [ {
    "errorCode" : "CMN-408",
    "message" : "[ReadPersonalContacts] permission required",
    "permissionName" : "ReadPersonalContacts"
  } ],
  "permissionName" : "ReadPersonalContacts"

That specific permission isn't an option in the API Developer settings panel. Any idea how to give my app that permission?

Ben,

This error is related to user permissions rather than app permissions. The reason you're getting this error is that you are trying to access the personal contacts of the extension user. Only the extension users can access their own personal contacts.

We have created a ticket to fix the error message and show a more appropriate message.

Thanks, Pawan Venugopal
