[ARCHIVED] "message": "user not authorized to perform that action" while submitting assignment as a student

[AkhilKrishnan]

Hi,

While using an access token belonging to a student profile I tried out the submit assignment API.

POST

/api/v1/courses/{courseId}/assignments/{assignmentId}/submissions

The response for the API is 

{

    "status": "unauthorized",

    "errors": [

        {

            "message": "user not authorized to perform that action"

        }

    ]

}

GET method seems to work fine for the same access token.

Please help.. Thanks in advance

i fix it with:

change the key "user_id" to "sis_user_id"

the value is same as user_id

Can you expand more how you solve this? I don't think change the key to "sis_user_id" will solve this issue. I am having this issue only to a particular student.

Also having this issue. Similar to this thread, I am able to submit as student after a while without changing anything.  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Developers-Group/User-not-authorized-response-Admin-accoun....
