403 access denied trying to use the webhook API

Question

I’m admin on the account (professional) and have created an access token. I’m trying to add a webhook to a team like so:
curl -X POST -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: MY_TOKEN_HERE' -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://api.figma.com/v2/webhooks' -d '{"event_type":"LIBRARY_PUBLISH","team_id":"TEAM_ID_HERE","endpoint":"END_POINT_HERE","passcode":"PASSCODE_HERE"}'

And I get this error on POST
{
  "error": true,
  "status": 403,
  "message": "You don't have permission to create a webhook for this team."
}

and this error on GET
{
  "error": true,
  "status": 403,
  "message": "You don't have permission to access this team."
}

Confused. What other permissions do I need to setup?

It looks like your team permission for both these teams is currently “can edit” and not “Admin” specifically. It’s important to note that the team admin permission is separate from the organization admin role; Webhooks require an explicit team admin permission setting.

I was not aware that Org admin permission doesn’t cascade down to the team. Support helped me get this working.
