Screenconnect permissons

[CodeNameTheOnlyOne]

what permissions are required for the api user to connect.
i attempted to create a group with only ViewSessionGroup granted to all session groups.
i plan on only using this to export data so only read access is needed.
when i connect i get this.
Connect-CWC -Server $Server -Credentials $Credentials
Connect-CWC : An exception has been thrown.
--> The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

when i add my user to my admin group it connects with no issues.

any idea what permissions are needed to get connected?

Looks like you need the Global Permission 'ManageSessionGroups' no matter what, and then any or all of the 'ViewSessionGroup' permissions under Scoped Permissions - AllSessionGroups and/or its children.
