You must be an API user in Address Manager to log on to the system and access the Address Manager Legacy v1 API.

Address Manager API users have a specific access type and cannot log in to Address
 Manager through the GUI (graphical user interface) unless access rights for the GUI are
 also granted. Similarly, GUI users cannot connect to Address Manager through the API
 interface unless granted additional API access rights.
Tip: For more
 information about API access and setting up Role-based Access Control (RBAC), refer
 to Users, groups, and access rights in the Address Manager
 Administration Guide.
