MAV - Error: Failed to create request: not authorized for that command

We use MAV in my company and have a poweruser who is allowed to run "snap restore" commands. This used to trigger a MAV request which I as administrator would approve. However since upgrading from 9.17.1P5 to 9.17.1P8 the user now gets this:

Warning: This operation requires multi-admin verification. To create a verification request use "security multi-admin-verify request create". Would you like to create a request for this operation? {y|n}: y

Error: Failed to create request: not authorized for that command
command failed: This operation requires multi-admin verification. To create a verification request use "security multi-admin-verify request create".

The first part we had before and the MAV request would be triggered, however now we get the error about needing to run "security multi-admin-verify request create". I tested myself as a poweruser with role containing volume permissions and I do not have the ability to run "security multi-admin-verify request create". I did not see in the UI any way to add "multi-admin-verify request create" to the role my user is a member of?
