Why can I only use CIM with the root account?

I have tested this with my CIM client software (Adaptec Storage Manager) and with curl and I can only authenticate to CIM using the root account with the administrator role assigned. I would like to use a service account with limited access. I have tried using a different role with all permissions assigned just to test but it stills fails 401 unauthorized. I have seen some posts about this being a bug from years ago but i am on ESXI 6.7u2 so I am confused if this is still a bug or not. Any help would be appreciated.
