Steps to reproduce

lncli --macaroonpath .../data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon --tlscertpath .../lnd.cert --rpcserver 127.0.0.1:10009

Expected behaviour

A macaroon should be baked, potentially serialized to a file when using --save_to

Actual behaviour

I get [lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = permission denied despite the fact I am using admin.macaroon.

See https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/macaroons/README.md#upgrading-from-v080-beta-or-earlier and https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/tag/v0.9.0-beta. You need to re-generate your macaroons.

My bad, sorry. Thought the macaroons have already been recreated in the meanwhile. Works perfectly now.
