API Post (Create) Not Returning a response in body

[twenger26]

I am attempting to use the SN Rest API to create users.  Every time I do a POST (create) with the user account I created I get a response of 201 which is good since it does create the user (sys_user), but the body of the response is blank...

If I use my local account (which has admin role) and do the same thing I do get a body response with fields from that new record.  It appears I have some sort of permission issue.

The weird thing is I can do a get or any other type of API query with that account and all of the field values are returned fine.   It's something about doing the Create which is returning a blank response.  But the record is created so I'm fairly confused.

I don't want to give this new account an "admin" role.  I only want it to be able to create/edit/read  the user, department, and location tables.  So far I've given it these roles with no success on getting a body response:

Strange! I tried with "user_admin" and "web_service_admin" roles (only) and I am able to get a response.

Can you share the Request URL and payload?

Sure

Request:

https://xxxxxx.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user

with body:

{"first_name":"Jordy", "last_name":"Nelson", "user_name":"jnelson"}

response:

{}

Not sure if that's what you are looking for....

I've tried it with Postman, C#, and the REST api explorer.  They all do the same thing.

Not sure where the problem lies. You might want to check the ACLs on User table.
