Adding User to project using bitbucket rest api responds with 403 error

[Mansi Patel]

Hi,

I am trying to add user to bitbucket project using rest api, but get 403 error. I have sys admin access to that instance.

-bash-3.2$ curl -u ****:*** -X PUT "https://*****/REST/API/1.0/PROJECTS/CAR/PERMISSIONS/USERS?NAME=user1&PERMISSION=PROJECT_READ"

Error:

The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.

I am completely out of ideas and surprised with this response. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Mansi Patel,

This is the explanation from the documentation.

[Mansi Patel]

I checked that documentation and user which I am trying is not part of this project or has any higher global level permission.

When I try the same operation from UI, it works fine. but from rest api it results in 403 error.

Thanks

Mansi

I get the same when adding a group.

When I'm trying to upload the plugin using sys admin access, I'm also getting 403 error whereas UI its working fine.
