Update User Profile via Rest API - Final Words?

[ADyPo]

Hi,

I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer: is it possible to update a user's profile with a Rest API call?

I feel like these should have worked: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-management/rest/api-group-users/

However, I keep getting a "forbidden.insufficientScope" / "Insufficient scope for this action" in Postman, even with the "GET Profile" request.

I'm the site admin and the user was created by API, in a Directory that I manage with a domain that I manage on the site. What could be wrong?

Can anyone even just "get" a user's profile with a Rest API call on his instance?

Thank you all in advance,

Best regards,

Dylan

The bug for this issue has been commented on with a fix that has been deployed. All newly-created API keys should function as expected. I tested this out in my environment and it worked for me.

I'm running into the same issue. The API key I created works for getting a list of users at the organization level, but trying to manage individual users with the same key returns a 403 with a "forbidden.insufficientScope" error, with one of the "acceptableScoes" being "manage:org". You'd think that if I can see data about my org already that this scope would be granted.

we have the same exact problem! However up until a few days ago per-user operations were working with the same API keys. Were you able to resolve this?

I opened a ticket with support, and they confirmed today that either 1) docs are incorrect, or 2) something isn't working right internally. They are investigating in detail, and I am awaiting a response.

Thanks for the quick response Andrew and for opening a support ticket. Would love it if you could keep the forum updated about the status of this issue! Thanks again.

I have the same problem trying any operation besides get users.  Response is always

{
"context": {
"acceptableScopes": [
"manage:org",
"manage:me:DUMMYSCOPE"
],
"message": "Insufficient scope for this action"
},
"errorDetail": {
"acceptableScopes": [
"manage:org",
"manage:me:DUMMYSCOPE"
],
"message": "Insufficient scope for this action"
},
"errorKey": "forbidden.insufficient-scope",
"key": "forbidden.insufficientScope"
}

To bump this thread, I am still experiencing this behavior:

{'key': 'forbidden.insufficientScope', 'context': {'message': 'Insufficient scope for this action', 'acceptableScopes': ['manage:org', 'manage:me:DUMMYSCOPE']}, 'errorKey': 'forbidden.insufficient-scope', 'errorDetail': {'message': 'Insufficient scope for this action', 'acceptableScopes': ['manage:org', 'manage:me:DUMMYSCOPE']}}

This happens with any endpoint other than list users.
