"message": "You are not authorized to perform this action.",

Why can't I change my name?

I use my id.

All other requests run without problems.

  • Hi @Bortyk

    As a System Admin, I was able to update my name using the API call you outlined above. Can you test to see if you can change your name from within the App in the UI?

    If you're not a System Admin, you may need to remove out some of the other permissions you're looking to set, other than the name. Try JUST the name:

    curl https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/users/{userId} \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXX" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -X PUT \
    -d '{
      "firstName": "Jane",
      "lastName": "Doe"}
    

    Cheers,
