Fail with error 'BA: Only self allowed'

[marianodtrs]

Hey there!

I staked some ILV on the Illuvium staking contract for a year using Authereum, like two months ago. And the other day, I came up with the news that the project is being discontinued, and it is being recommended to move the funds off the wallet, as sooner or later, they are going to pull the plug on the UI.

So there is a chance that when my ILVs get unlocked, I will not be able to access them.

I've been trying to get the grasp on the Authereum direct tool since then, and so far I could successfully connect with my Metamask wallet (Already gave admin permissions through the Authereum UI).

The thing is, when I try any action on the Illuvium-staking site (i.e. claim rewards), I get a transaction failure, with the reason 'BA: Only self allowed'. Here the transaction.

My best guess is that the Illuvium contract is not allowing any interaction that comes from another address that is not the Authereum one, so the whole direct interaction through Metamask is not possible. But I am far from understanding this kind of technical stuff.

Does anyone know what is actually going on, and how could I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance for reading and your time! :)
