I'm making the API calls from a custom component. When calling from a custom component do I need a special user?

If you would like to make the REST API call with all the permissions, you may use the "restadmin" object instead of the "rest" object. Please keep in mind that this makes the REST call with admin privileges, so be careful about the calls being made, so as not to open up your community to security vulnerabilities.

 

Hope that helps!
