when trying to post to users I'm getting missing scopes and at the same time I'm getting an authorised scope How do I generate an API and get around this issue

TL;DR
User is having trouble posting to Users using Postman. They are advised to check if their API key has the proper permissions for `users.write`. Reference the provided link for guidance. Ensure the project ID is included in the request headers.

Do you have your API key with proper permissions enabled? Does it include permission for users.write (as from the error in your sreenshot)?

How do I get permission for users.write?

Check your API key's permissions. Check if it has users.write enabled?

<@1329045306997866509> I've created a api key, tried to sign in using it, gave it all the permissions, but still getting the same issue.

For reference, I'm following the steps from this issue - https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/8785

My postman details:

POST url - https://fra.cloud.appwrite.io/v1/users Authorization - API key auth type Key name - X-Appwrite-Project Add to Query Params

Are you including the project ID in your request?

how should I include that? I'm looking through postman docs on appwrite but can't find any mention on it. -https://www.postman.com/interstellar-water-360005/aaaa/documentation/lu322kn/appwrite?sideView=agentMode&amp;entity=request-9583190a-0eb1-488e-ad3f-b2f160a60da0

Can you share what you've included in your headers tab if you don't mind? You can hide the values if you want, just share the keys
