Invoke-RDMParentSession --> Access denied

Hello,

I want to move a session as a child of another session. In any case, I receive an "Access denied".

For the purpose of a demo, I've created following Powershell script. It first creates a parent and a child session and then tries to move the child session under the parent session.

$timestamp = Get-Date -Format yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss

$parent = New-RDMSession -Name "parent $timestamp" -ConnectionType "SSHShell" -Host "parent"
Set-RDMSession $parent -Refresh
Write-Host "Parent:"
$parent | ft -Property Name,Group,ConnectionType
Write-Host ""

$child = New-RDMSession -Name "child $timestamp" -ConnectionType "WebBrowser" -Host "child"
Set-RDMSession $child -Refresh
Write-Host "Child:"
$child | ft -Property Name,Group,ConnectionType
Write-Host ""

Write-Host "Move child session under parent session:"
Invoke-RDMParentSession -ParentSession $parent -Session $child -Refresh

Output:

Parent:

Name                       Group ConnectionType
----                       ----- --------------
parent 2023-11-22_08-48-58             SSHShell


Child:                                                                                                                  
Name                      Group ConnectionType
----                      ----- --------------
child 2023-11-22_08-48-58           WebBrowser


Move child session under parent session:
Invoke-RDMParentSession: C:\Users\tom\Powershell\cmdb_scripts\ad_hoc_scripts\rdm_move_session.ps1:16
Line |
  16 |  Invoke-RDMParentSession -ParentSession $parent -Session $child -Refre …
     |  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Access denied

In RDM this results to:

I really doubt this is a permission problem, since I'm able to create the sessions. And even move the child under the parrent (by drag and drop) within RDM:

I'm using Powershell module Devolutions.PowerShell version 2023.3.1

Hello,

Could you please confirm the account used in the PowerShell module has admin rights in the data source? It is required to use that cmdlet.

Best regards,
