Cannot create a project using JIRA Cloud Server API

[zachary_lemura]

Hi,

I am trying to use the POST /rest/api/2/project API method to create a project, using Postman.

My bearer token has the following scopes: r

• read:jira-user
• read:jira-work
• write:jira-work
• manage:jira-project
• manage:jira-configuration 

When I try to create a project I first get this error when I have my accountId (which I found using the Get Project method (/rest/api/2/project/{projectid}) I get the following error response: 

I'm not sure what this error response indicates.

When I remove the accountId from the 'lead' parameter I receive the following error response:

My main questions are:

1. Is what I am trying to achieve possible ?(i.e. authenticate my API's using a bearer token to create a JIRA project via API call)

2. What additional scopes do I require to allow my bearer tokens to be used to create projects?

3. What is the meaning of the first error, surrounding GDPR strict mode?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
