My role is currently “modifier”. When using doctl serverless connect, I receive the error:
Error: GET https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/functions/namespaces/{namespace-id}": You are not authorized to perform this operation
Even with a full access token (create, read and update), it seems that modifiers cannot access namespace functions. Is this a known limitation, or does it require specific admin or delete access to work with namespace functions via doctl?

Hey Han 👋
It’s a bit confusing, but yes, it seems that being a “modifier” prevents you from accessing function namespaces via doctl, even with a full-scope token. The community has seen this behavior too, doctl serverless connect will throw a 403 if your team role lacks the proper privileges:

To use namespace commands successfully, you’ll likely need owner or admin role in your team. Modifier just doesn’t cut it for those function-level operations.
If you don’t have that level on your token, try the command with an owner/admin account. If that doesn’t work or it’s unclear, it might be worth raising to the DigitalOcean support: https://do.co/support
