Unable to create a user via a script

[khayes1]

Hi,

I'm unable to create a user as part of a service as it fails due to a permissions issue.

error = JavaException: java.lang.Exception: Import Failed: Not authorized for Create​

What I don't understand is that the user has the rights to call my wrapping script, and the Entity Services allow the System user to execute services

I thought that if my user had the run time permission to call the wrapping service then the fact that the EntityServices allows the System user this would allow the wrapped service  Resources["EntityServices"].CreateUser(userParams); to be called. Is my understanding not correct?

I also added my user's group to the runtime permissions for the Resources at the collection level

but this seemed to have no effect at all. does anyone know where I might be going wrong?

Thanks,

K

I should add that the outer service also allows the System user permission to execute services

Hi, I think I have the solution. I had forgotten to give the user the correct Design Time (CRUD) permissions.

For some reason I just assumed that they applied only to the Thingworx Composer and not run time operations.

I believe you should be able to give the System user design time create to make this work.

Thanks for the confirmation. Took your advice, it all seems to be working fine now.
