"You don't have permission to create issue in this project" when trying to create issue

Hello, I'm trying to create issue with Jira Cloud Rest API, but I'm not sure why I got this error. Even though I'm an admin on that project. I'm really confuse right now. Last time it success to create the issue, but today it didn't success.

 

{
        fields: {
            project: {
                key: 'WT'
            },
            summary: 'I\'m not sure.',
            description: {
                type: 'doc',
                version: 1,
                content: [
                    {
                        type: 'paragraph',
                        content: [
                            {
                                text: 'Test create issue.',
                                type: 'text'
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            },
            issuetype: {
                name: 'Task'
            }
        }
    }

Being an admin seems to be a MAJOR MISCONCEPTION with new users. Jira uses the permission scheme assigned to the project to determine what a user can do in the project. A security model where just being an admin gives you rights to everything is a BAD MODEL and would never pass a valid security audit. If you're a JIra admin you can look at the permission scheme assigned to the project and see what roles can create issues.
