Error "Invalid API key. A full (read/write) key is required"

I cannot get the cloud monitoring for catalyst to connect to my dashboard. I get the error "Invalid API key. A full (read/write) key is required."

I cannot find a way in the dashboard to assign different permissions to an API key.

My user has access set to "full" under organization > administrators.

Weird. I waited 15 minutes, I signed out of the dashboard, signed back in, clicked again on the green button in the "Cloud Monitoring for Catalyst" app and it worked this time, no error. I did not change the API key or any settings in the dashboard.

Problem solved.

Was this a newly generated API key?
New API keys can take a few minutes to become active.

[mantis780]

yes, it was band new, that was probably it. It would be helpful to have a small warning when creating and API key that reads "it can take up to X minutes before this API key becomes active, you may see the error "Invalid API key. A full (read/write) key is required." until the API key becomes fully active".
