Describe the problem

When using a custom role for the HBUP user on UniFi OS with full management permission enabled for the UP Floodlight, Homebridge reports the following error.

Working:

Not working:

The floodlight can be controlled when the user is updated to the super admin role.

Shouldn't full control over just the floodlight be enough to control it? In other words, is this a bug?

It is what it is. Take it up with Ubiquiti. :smile:

It is not a bug in HBUP.

Best of luck.
