Not able to create external location in unity catalog

You do not have the CREATE EXTERNAL LOCATION privilege for this credential. Contact your metastore administrator to grant you the privilege to this credential.  -- My user id is having access to Create external location then also i am getting the same error.

If you go to the specific storage credential you are trying to use to create this External Location, under permissions does it actually show you have All privileges or the CREATE EXTERNAL LOCATION permission?
