401 error in cloudstack createUser rest api #11130
Description
Hi,
My cloudstack api url for create user is like
http://cloudstack-host/client/api?account&command=createUser&email=userthree%40mail.com&firstname=User&lastname=Three&password=password&response=json&username=userthree&signature=
It rejects me with 401
It is happening only in createUser and createAccount APIs
If someone know what is happening here, I really appreciate for your help
Thanks,
Activity

@waiphyodev , I suppose you left out the signature on purpose and did include it in your attempts to create a user.
there is “account” between the URL and the rest of the parameters,
my try looks like
and is a post request with parameters.
if this seems ok,
Have a look at the rights of the executing user, Do they have rights to this API.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, it does have required permissions to do request because I do the same process via CloudStack dashboard with the same account and it is fine.
This is happening only via API.
What if I'm calling with API key, how should I give payload in which method.
