Cannot create 'AcmeAccount' resource when provider uses an API token for root@pam

[0xA1F1E]

I'm unable to create a AcmeAccount resource when my provider is using an API token for root@pam instead of a password. I receive the following error.

  proxmoxve:index:AcmeAccount (Cluster_AcmeAccount_LE_V2):
    error: Unable to create ACME account '"LE_V2"': error creating ACME account: received an HTTP 403 response - Reason: Permission check failed (user != root@pam)

Is there a reason why this doesn't work?
Thanks

this provider is based on https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox.

as mentioned in the upstream provider's docs (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/bpg/proxmox/latest/docs), not all API operations support token authentication on the Proxmox side. this one seems to be one of those.
