I'm building a Azure DevOps Pipeline Task to deploy my functions to Appwrite using REST APIs. How can I set project global variables via REST? This endpoint does not work with project API Key.

TypeScript
POST /project/variables HTTP/1.1
Host: cloud.appwrite.io
Content-Type: application/json
X-Appwrite-Response-Format: 1.7.0
X-Appwrite-Project: <YOUR_PROJECT_ID>
X-Appwrite-Key: <API_KEY>
{
    "key": "test",
    "value": "test"
}

Im getting this return:

TypeScript
{
    "message": "app.xxxxxx@service.nyc.cloud.appwrite.io (role: applications) missing scope (projects.write)",
    "code": 401,
    "type": "general_unauthorized_scope",
    "version": "1.7.4"
}
TL;DR
Developers want to set project global variables in Appwrite using REST APIs, but are facing authorization issues. The error message indicates a missing "projects.write" scope for the specified role. To resolve this, grant the necessary scope to the API Key in order to successfully set project global variables.
