Help Needed: Issue with /rest/api/3/group/picker Endpoint Returning 401 Unauthorized

Vasilis Kokotakis

Hey community,

I’m encountering an issue with the /rest/api/3/group/picker?query=* endpoint.

Despite having all the necessary scopes activated, this specific endpoint returns the following error:

{
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Unauthorized; scope does not match"
}

What’s puzzling is that my solution uses over 100 other endpoints, all of which work perfectly. This is the only endpoint that’s failing.

I’m wondering:

1. Has this endpoint been deprecated?
2. Are there any recent changes or specific requirements for using this endpoint?
3. Could there be anything else I’m missing, even with the scopes properly configured?

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Vasilis Kokotakis 

Are you trying to use this one where groups is plural?  It is singular in your URL.

Also, if you are querying for all of them, consider removing the query to do that.

Kind regards,
Bill
