Response: {"error":{"detail":"Failed API level ACL Validation","message":"User Not Authorized"},"status":"failure"}

Resolution Check if they activated ACL 'Table API' on the instance. This ACL will restrict access to the Table API service.

OOTB, this ACL is set to false. That means it does not need 'snc_platform_rest_api_access' role for the user while creating relationships.

If you would like to set this ACL enabled, then you may need to add additional role 'snc_platform_rest_api_access' for all the users besides itil & ecmdb_admin roles.

Additional Information Users with the itil and ecmdb_admin roles can view maps and perform all actions in the map. Actions include access to the map views and saved filters, both from the lists in the map and from the Saved Filters module.
