How can I use npm-install with --build-name and --build-number command options as a non-admin user in JFrog CLI?

Description

I am trying to set up JFrog’s Artifactory Pro (v 6.0.1) to store and cache dependencies of my projects. I want to use JFrog CLI to collect and publish the npm-build information to Artifactory just like it is described in this (https://jfrog.com/blog/npm-flies-with-jfrog-cli/) blog-post, but I want to be able to do it as a non-admin user.

Setup

Artifactory contains a virtual repository called npm, that is a collection of a local (named npm-local) and a remote (named npm-remote) repository.

There are two users: the user called admin that has admin access and a user called developer that does not have admin access.

Config for JFrog CLI:

# create a configuration for the admin
jfrog rt config --user=admin \
    --password=admin \
    --url=http://localhost:8081/artifactory \
    --interactive=false rt_admin

# create a configuration for the developer
jfrog rt config --user=developer \
    --password=developer \
    --url=http://localhost:8081/artifactory \
    --interactive=false rt_dev

What I am doing

For this test I am trying to build the simple-node-js-react-npm-app (https://github.com/jenkins-docs/simple-node-js-react-npm-app) and publish it to the local npm repository in Artifactory using the following JFrog CLI commands:

jfrog rt npm-install npm \
    --build-name=simple \
    --build-number=1.0.0 \
    --server-id=rt_dev

this produces the following the following error just before the command is done (if errors during npm-install phase are ignored):

[Info] Collecting dependencies information, this might take several minuets...
[Error] Artifactory response: 400 Bad Request
For permissions reasons AQL demands the following fields: repo, path and name.

When i go on with

jfrog rt npm-publish npm \
    --build-name=simple \
    --build-number=1.0.0 \
    --server-id=rt_dev
jfrog rt build-publish simple 1.0.0 --server-id=rt_dev

the freshly published artifact has zero dependencies.

If publish the same way as an admin

jfrog rt npm-install npm \
    --build-name=simple \
    --build-number=1.0.1  \
    --server-id=rt_admin
jfrog rt npm-publish npm \
    --build-name=simple \
    --build-number=1.0.1 \
    --server-id=rt_admin
jfrog rt build-publish simple 1.0.1 --server-id=rt_admin

i get over 1000 dependencies.

How can i get the same result as a non admin user?

If this helps, I have tried to reproduce this behavior but was not able to. Have successfully built and publish with a non-admin user using the CLI (see build log below).

In your case, you can debug the JFrog CLI by running it on DEBUG.
