I am attempting to retrieve the api base url from an ECE environment. When I issue the following command:  
curl -s -k -XGET [https://XXX.YYY.ZZZ:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/api\_base\_url](https://XXX.YYY.ZZZ:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/api_base_url) -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXX"

I get the following response:  
{  
"errors": [  
{  
"message": "The supplied authentication is not authorized to access this resource. Reason: [Missing required permissions].",  
"code": "root.unauthorized.rbac"  
}  
]  
}

As another point of information. The Bearer token returns data as expected when I run this command:  
curl -s -k -XGET [https://XXX.YYY.ZZZ:12443/api/v1/platform](https://XXX.YYY.ZZZ:12443/api/v1/platform) -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXX"

It returns:  
{  
"phone\_home\_enabled": true,  
"eula\_accepted": true,  
"services": [  
{  
"type": "admin-console",  
"image": [  
{  
"id": "xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa",  
"version": "2.4.2",  
"hash": "sha256:44f5f6c597475315a9b43456912dfadd6c8d3e44d12927b9158a6cd41640fbb5",  
"tag": "[docker.elastic.co/cloud-enterprise/elastic-cloud-enterprise:2.4.2](http://docker.elastic.co/cloud-enterprise/elastic-cloud-enterprise:2.4.2)"  
}  
]  
}  
],  
"version": "2.4.2"  
}

Any help would be appreciated. Note the Bearer token belongs to the admin user which was created when I installed ECE.
