I'm getting this error while trying to retrieve contacts of each extension's

Exception:

In order to call this API endpoint, user needs to have [ReadPersonalContacts] permission for requested resource.

Hi Nibu,

The error message is misleading. The reason you got that error, actually was that you logged in with one extension and try to read personal contacts of another extension (user). That is not allowed even the extension you login has the admin role.

So try this instead:

https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/address-book/contact
