How to grant permission in RESTful API to user in Netbackup 8.1.1?

Question

I have account in Netbackup Java console and commandline with all permissions, but in REST api, I can only access part of resources like /appdetails. To other path like /admin/jobs, I got following error: {"errorCode":8000,"errorMessage":"User does not have permission(s) to perform the requested operation."}

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.
