Question API return 401, 403 error with reseller's api key

Hello,

I'm building an application for server automation. I don't want to use admin (root) credential to create api key (too risky), so, I created a reseller for that.

1. If I using reseller's credential, I can not create API key (got 403 error)

2. If I using admin credential, I can create API key for a specific reseller, but when I used the API key, it always return 401 error

I need to use reseller's credential to create it's own api key, so I can use that API key to control everything inside its scope.

Thank you.

Notes:
- Everything fine If I used admin's credential to create admin's api key.
- My plesk's version: 18.0.44
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
 
I believe that's by design as resellers don't have the privileges to use the API. Only root and the administrator users have privileges to use the API.

So I just wonder why I can create API key for reseller. Also, it's too risky for using root & admin's credential for external app.
