Describe the bug

Unable to delete proxy hosts with API, gives 403 errors. Everything else works as expected including UI delete with same credentials

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

2.12.6

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

setup API credentials
call /nginx/proxy-hosts/{host-id}
fail with 403 error

Expected behavior

Deleting the proxy host as directed

Screenshots

Operating System

Additional context

I've built a quick FastAPI python based setup for automation purposes. It all works fine so far except for the delete, which comes back with a 403 error each time (even when running from a swagger instance). Here's a code snippet:

def delete_proxy_host_by_id(host_id: int):
    url = f"{NPM_BASE_URL}/nginx/proxy-hosts/{host_id}"
    headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'}
    auth = (NPM_LOGIN, NPM_SECRET)
    response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers, auth=auth)
    print(response)
    if response.status_code == 204:
        logger.info(f"Proxy host with ID {host_id} deleted successfully.")
        return True
    else:
        logger.error(f"Failed to delete proxy host with ID {host_id}. Status code: {response.status_code}, Response: {response.text}")
        return False

ERROR: Failed to delete proxy host with ID 42. Status code: 403, Response: {"error":{"code":403,"message":"Permission Denied"}}

In this case proxy host 42 exists and with the exact same credentials I'm able to delete in the UI.
