403: User does not have permissions to access this service

BrianWhite70 — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 17:51:51 GMT

I am a trial Admin user, but do not seem to have permissions to do certain things ( like programmatically create a feature layer, or ask for getServiceAdminInfo for a Feature layer I created in the ui. It just returns 403. I am using an API key i created that has been given access to any content I created through the console ui. I am able to programmatically add features.

What am I missing?

@BrianWhite70you cannot use an API key to create Feature Layers or create new content items. API keys are designed for service access requests. To create data you will need to use a logged in user access token obtained through the OAuth 2 authentication process, see https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/mapping-apis-and-services/security/oauth-2/
