When configuring the Rancher2 Terraform Provider, what permissions are required for the API token configured to authenticate with Rancher (as in the below example)?

provider "rancher2" {
  api_url    = "https://rancher.my-domain.com"

The user account for which you generate the API token, to configure the Terraform provider, will need permissions granted on any resources that you intend to configure and manage via Terraform.
