Getting "This resource requires WebSudo" error while adding a new user to JIRA

Question

Trying to add new user, by posting user details in to REST API: "/rest/api/2/user".

If i use postman utility then it works fine. But, if i use VBA code for the same then it throws the error "This resource requires WebSudo".

Any suggestion for resolving the issue?

Thanks for the response, Moses.

Actually, this is happening after immediate login.

Step:1 authentication.

Step:2 user creation (post method for this api). Still it throws the error. I tried .setRequestHeader "X-Atlassian-Token", "no-check". But no success.

It gives {"message":"This resource requires WebSudo.","status-code":401}

Am i missing something at login?

Anybody works in JIRA REST API + VBA..

@Prabu NIt  seems like this  happens when your Administrative Session times out and JIRA tends to  ask again for admin credentials (password)

Best!
