So basically, my custom integration adds multiple users to a specific BIM project. The problem I am facing is that it will only add account admins and not anyone else. Every time I try to add a non account admin, the code spits out an error that says “user must be account admin and project member”. This makes no sense to me as isn’t every user in BIM a project member. The documentation on forge for posting users does say that the users only need to be project admins and project users and that’s exactly what they are. I attached a link to the documentation below.

Documentation: https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-project_id-users-import-POST/

TLDR – My code works for adding all account admins to any single specific project. It just won’t add non account admins.

My code:
