[Python] What authorization am I missing when writing a PATCH API to Autodesk Construction...

The goal of my API is to allow a batch PATCH of asset statuses in ACC. When I run my code, I am getting error code 403 which is "The request was not accepted because the client is authenticated, but is not authorized to access the target resource".

I am currently an Account Admin in Autodesk so I am wondering what authorization I am missing.

I have successfully used a GET API to pull a list of all current Assets and their Status (along with other info but I am only needing to update status at this time). Using this list, I have created an Excel file that captures the id and the status_id. This new list has the updated status_id for my assets that I would like to update.

For my current API, I am using panda to compare the current status against the Excel file. And finding any discrepancies, patching the new status. The rest of my API works.
