Hi @Sam 

401 means permission error. You do not provide the right credentials. You should provide the credential as "basic {base64 encoded user:password}"

Hi @Florian Bonniec I am using token right! so need of password and it has permission also for reference .I checked this one The Jira Service Management REST API

[Florian Bonniec]

Did you follow this ? Using Personal Access Tokens | Atlassian Support | Atlassian Documentation

You are using Token but also referencing HTTPBasicAuth

[Sam]

yes,I tried without http basic auth also on that time i am getting 405 error

This script works

import requests

import json

# Replace these variables with your JIRA instance details

groupName = ''

jira_url = ''

api_endpoint = f'/rest/api/2/group/user?groupname={groupName}'

url = jira_url + api_endpoint

# Your JIRA credentials

api_token = ''

# Headers for the request

headers = {

    'Content-Type': 'application/json',

    'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_token}'

}

# Data

data = {

  "name": ""

}

# Make the POST request to create the issue

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data), verify=False)

# Check the response

if response.status_code == 201:

    print("User Added successfully.")

    print("Response:", response.json())

else:

    print("Failed to add user.")

    print("Response:", response.status_code)

Failed to add user.
Response: 405

Most likely your base url is wrong. I tested it and works on my side.

Did you include the path if any ? like url/jira/rest....
