Change Public Name via API

[TMonatisa]

Good day

I am trying to create a forge app to change any users public name. I have battling to get a response from this endpoint:

https://api.atlassian.com/users/accountId/manage/profile

I generated a API token and it keeps saying error 401.

Hi @TMonatisa 

Welcome to the community.

The User management REST API provides resources to administer and edit managed accounts.

So this is to manage users that are managed by an IDP. So I don't think you can use this in an app.

This because you are not in the position to manage the IDP endpoint.

Even if there was an API for non managed users, the option in a profile are only adjustable by the user.

Hi,

welcome to the community.

Did the token work when you try a simple get ?
