Is admin role mandatory for webservice users - I face recent failures in api calls due to this

[Chandrika Manch]

Recent days, my api connections are failing with 403 forbidden error. 

When I debug, I see the api user lacks admin role. Is there a communication from Servicenow or a latest patch that mandates admin role for webservice users ? 

For third party integrations, I might want to restrict admin privileges. How do we integrate in such aspects. 

Please provide some inputs here !!
