New to JIRA API's, trying to create issues/stories via API

[Orlando Borden]

trying to create an issue/story via API, keep getting permission error

response text = {"errorMessages":["You do not have permission to create issues in this project."],"errors":{}}

I checked permissions and I have BROWSE and EDIT

{

    "permissions": {

        "BROWSE_PROJECTS": {

            "description": "Ability to browse projects and the issues within them.",

            "havePermission": true,

            "id": "10",

            "key": "BROWSE_PROJECTS",

            "name": "Browse Projects",

            "type": "PROJECT"

        },

        "EDIT_ISSUES": {

            "description": "Ability to edit issues.",

            "havePermission": true,

            "id": "12",

            "key": "EDIT_ISSUES",

            "name": "Edit Issues",

            "type": "PROJECT"

        }

    }

}

Is there a CREATE_ISSUES permission? How do I edit the permissions, I don't see that in the portal.

Hello @Orlando Borden 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Yes, there is a Create Issue permission which you must have in the specified project in order to successfully create permissions via the API.

If you are working with a Company Managed project, permissions are managed with a Permission Scheme that is associated with the project. In the Permission Scheme permissions can be granted to Project Roles, User Groups, and a variety of other entities that explicitly or implicitly identify users. If the permissions have been granted based on Project Roles, then the Project Administrator can manage who is assigned to a Project Role and thereby grant a user a specified permission. Otherwise only a Jira Administrator can modify a Permission Scheme to grant permissions to additional individuals.
