User Creation Permissions

[pbaierl]

I have created a mashup and a number of services to create users from a mashup and give them a certain level of access.

I am able to create and update user information as an administrator/developer.  However, I have attempted to create a user from a non admin account using my mashup and I keep getting the same error:

JavaException: com.thingworx.common.exceptions.InvalidRequestException: Not authorized for ServiceInvoke on CreateUser in EntityServices

I have give all users permission to execute services for the users and read/write properties.  Are there any other permissions I need to add in order for the CreateUser service to function? 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul Baierl​,

Please refer to below article. It seems related: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS222682&lang=en_US

Ankit,

Thank you for getting back to me.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem I can access the file in the link.  Any additional assistance you could provide would be great. 

Thanks,

Paul

Resolution as per the article:

• Go to Users, set Collection Permissions for Users
• Add logged in user's User Group in Design Time

Thanks Ankit,

I appreciate the reply, but I have already tried this with no success.  I added the users group (everyone) to have full permissions during development and run-time as a test.  I still get the same error about a lack of permissions to create a user.

I have also closed all of my browser windows after making the change to ensure they were applied.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul, just to make sure, did you set RunTime Service Execute permissions for the CreateUser service in Entity Services as well?

Thank you Aanjan and Ankit for your help.  It is working now.  It was a combination of the two permissions settings that was preventing access.

I didn't realize I had to set permissions on the Entity Services which was hidden in the system objects.

Thanks again for the help!
