Issue/Introduction

"Failed to validate endpoint credentials.", despite valid credentials being used.
 

Environment

Cause

Upon reviewing the Extensibility actions run for the validation tasks (Extensibility > Action Runs > All Runs / Integration Runs) The actions shows credential validations progresses and attempts to pull details from Infoblox, but fails to do so as user posses no permissions
The above is due to the way the Infoblox integration validation code handled the response received from the infoblox_client.

To resolve these errors, ensure that the allowed interfaces GUI and API are enabled in Admin group of Infoblox.
