I’m trying to configure my Chef workstation with Chef automate. I configured my user account in Chef Automate as admin, committer, reviewer, shipper, observer; SSH key configured as well. cli.toml config as following(I replaced the user and enterprise value for security consideration):

```auto
server = " ***********************"
api_protocol = "https"
user = " ***********************"
enterprise = " ***********"
organization = "TestOrganization"
git_port = "8989"
pipeline = "master"

```

When I generate a cookbook and run delivery init, it came back token denied.

```auto
PS C:\users\ ****** \chef-repo\workflow\ydk-test-automate> delivery init
Chef Delivery
