Hi team — we run a PM automation for a video production agency on the V4 API (user OAuth, Adobe IMS). Reads work great (workspaces, projects, files, metadata, comments), but metadata writes are blocked pending the ALM migration:

- `PATCH /v4/accounts/{account_id}/projects/{project_id}/metadata/values` → 403 `“Please migrate your account to account level metadata.”`
- `GET /v4/accounts/{account_id}/metadata/field_definitions` → same 403.

Could you please add the account to the ALM migration priority list?

- Account ID: `c94a159c-ac41-4ca9-9012-2da525a4a138`
- Happy to confirm the account email via DM.

Use case: automated status hygiene — the account’s Status select field is read/cross-checked daily, and we need write access to fix unstatused files programmatically. Thanks!

Hi @mystiqueai

Thanks for letting us know about this, sorry to hear you’re blocked here. I put in a request to have your account moved over to ALM, and will circle back here to confirm it has completed.

Hi @mystiqueai! Your account should be on ALM now.

Feel free to let me know if there’s anything else we can help you with.
