just found the same - the old document was different 😉  
and the error changed

```auto
14.9.2021, 13:13:43node: DB433Mhz_2 Balkon
msg : error
"Error: A 403 Forbidden error occurred: {"error":"user is required to write to database \"DB433Mhz_2\""}↵"

```

i thinks to be required is because i am on 1.8.9 - maybe this changed too!  
And yes it did not have a user till now
