      Why did I get an 'REQUEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_ADMIN_AUTH' error?

      An error in the console that reads <REQUEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_ADMIN_AUTH> would indicate mismatched API keys.

      { 
      code: 'SERVICE_ERROR', 
      data: [{ 
      data: {}, 
      error_code: 'REQUEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_ADMIN_AUTH', 
      message: 'You are not authorized to access the given resource: issuer (did:ethr). Please check your parameters to make sure the resource you want to access is intended.', 
      status: 'failed' 
      } 
      ]}


      Steps to resolve:

      1. Confirm that the backend Magic instance is being created with a secret key (sk_live) that corresponds to the publishable key (pk_live) used to initiate the client side Magic instance. These keys are viewable in your Magic dashboard.
