GraphQL.ExecutionError: Deserialization can only be performed by Sitecore Administrators

Question

I am trying to install the Sitecore items package using the Sitecore CLI command line, I created a package using the same name as SitecoreCliProject.itempackage and now trying to install following this Link

I am trying yo install the package by using the command

sitecore ser pkg install -f sitecoreCliTest.itempackage --client-id <your client id> --client-secret <your client secret> --cm <your content management host> --auth <your identity host>

I can see below the error in PowerShell. And I am running PowerShell from Admin.

GraphQL.ExecutionError: Deserialization can only be performed by Sitecore Administrators.

Any idea?

This turnout issue of config changes was not applied properly, I created a config named - Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.ClientCredentialsMapping.config following https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/100/developer-tools/en/configure-a-non-interactive-client-login.html and changes were not showing in showconfig.aspx for this config, so I created the zzz folder under App_Config/Include folder and put this Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.ClientCredentialsMapping.config under this folder and checked showconfig.aspx, this time I saw my config changes and ran the below command

sitecore ser pkg install -f sitecoreCliTest.itempackage --client-id <your client id> --client-secret <your client secret> --cm <your content management host> --auth <your identity host>

It worked successfully.
