Upload an Image on behalf of another USER - Community RESTAPIv1

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;I am writing a script to import a wordpress&nbsp;blog. I have hit a problem with uploading the images from the wordpress blog into lithium. If I upload them all to the API user gallery that works fine but i'd really like to upload them to the user who posted the blogs gallery.&nbsp;The API User is an Administrator yet everytime I place the following call:&nbsp;https://&lt;stageserver.com&gt;/restapi/vc/users/id/259/media/albums/default/public/images/uploadI get a response code of 303 - and an error message of User 289 does not have the following permissions etc&nbsp;289 is the API User..&nbsp;is there some special trick to posting an image to another user's gallery that I am not getting?

allensmith81A few days back I was not able to do the same and I had to change my route. CURL can help you herecurl -v -F image.content=@/path/to/upload/image.jpeg "http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/users/id/[id] /media/albums/default/public/images/upload?restapi.session_key=[redacted]"

This is the actual response:&nbsp;&lt;response status="error"&gt;
  &lt;error code="303"&gt;
    &lt;message&gt;
      User 289 does not have the following permission(s) at gxcuf89792: [ ]
    &lt;/message&gt;
  &lt;/error&gt;
&lt;/response&gt;As you can see its not telling me which permission the admin API user does not have..&nbsp;
