Adapter state still unauthorized even after running setcap cap_net_raw+eip

I am running a couple of node tools that use noble. Both are requiring me to run as root despite running:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f which node)

Error is:

noble warning: adapter state unauthorized, please run as root or with sudo
               or see README for information on running without root/sudo:
               https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble#running-on-linux

The output of which node is /home/scott/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.2/bin/node. The output of sudo getcap $(eval readlink -f which node) is /home/scott/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.2/bin/node = cap_net_raw+eip

I have also created a symlink for root so the latest version of node is also available at /usr/local/bin/node.

I believe my issue may be caused by using NVM to manage node but cannot be 100% certain.

Any tips of what I might be able to do to debug this some more?

after running this command:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip $(eval readlink -f which node)

the noble permission warning disappeared and after a restart node-red-contrib-xiaomi-ble started reading my mijia sensor.

ps: this will only work in node red with node 8.

I also have the same issue and results as above on Ubuntu 18.04.

For me getcap $(eval readlink -f which node) output is /usr/local/bin/node = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip

I’m working on an Electron app.
