Get 403 " forbidden error " when creating workitem resource via REST WebService in CCM
Accepted answer
I suggest to check out https://jazz.net/forum/questions/175980/why-status-code-403-forbidden-while-trying-to-create-workitem-using-rest-api-oslc specifically the part about the header "X-Jazz-CSRF-Prevent" with the current JSESSIONID.

Hi,
the error message strongly indicates that the user under which you authenticate with your REST Client is not part of the JAZZ_USER, JAZZ_ADMINS or JAZZ_PROJECT_ADMINS group (they might be called slightly different in your environment) or if so then is missing membership in the project area / team area for which the work item should be created.
Can you manually log in with the same user and create a work item via the UI in that project area? Does the ccm log indicate anything in addition to the error message above?
