Original Slack Thread

Hello folks! I’m trying to test the createPost method but I’m getting an unauthorized error even while using the datahub root user. Any ideas?

Thanks (=

Hi - could you confirm you have create global announcement privilege in platform policies? Root user doesn’t have this privilege as default.

Hey! Thanks for answering (=

Indeed that wasn’t setup. But I quickly created a policy to try it out and it’s still not working, receiving the same error

While trying to make it work I added the Datahub user to the Admin role (Not sure if that is overwriting its permissions somehow). Couldn’t find how to remove it from role now :thinking_face:

Nevermind! Seems to have been some kind of cache. Tested it again today and it’s actually working after setting up that permission!

Thanks a lot for your support :purple_heart:
