Hello Planet team,

I was recently approved for the Education & Research Basic program. 
My API key works and I can search the catalog successfully - quick-search returns 250+ PSScene results for my AOI.

However, I have no download permissions:

- The `_permissions` array is empty on all items
- The assets endpoint returns an empty response
- The Subscriptions platform blocks clip and harmonize tools 
  ("clip tool use is forbidden", "harmonize tool use is forbidden")
- The subscriptions/quota endpoint returns `[]`

My research involves multispectral vineyard stress analysis using PlanetScope 8-band imagery (ortho_analytic_8b_sr) in central Chile.

Is there an additional provisioning step I'm missing, or does my account need to be manually activated for download access?

Thank you for your help.
