i am trying to create content library using rest api. below is my payload. 

url = https://{{vc}}/rest/com/vmware/content/local-library

payload = 

{
"create_spec": {
"name": "CL2",
"description": "CL1 Desc",
"publish_info": {
"authentication_method": "NONE",
"persist_json_enabled": false,
"published": false
},
"storage_backings": [

the issue was with datastore id , not with the permission. i gave the datastore name, instead of id, which caused this.

the error was misleading though
