SaveResponseBodyAsAttachment() method failing with Unable to save response body as attachment: User not authorized .

[rahulyamgar]

Hello Friends,

I am using the REST API call and saving the response body using the method - "saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(tablename, recordSysId, filename); ". I am setting the MID server to execute the request. Above method execution is failing with "Unable to save response body as attachment: User not authorized " error.

Please guide.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

Is that user having valid role to add attachment to data source?

Do i need to check access to attachment table ?

Hi Rahul,

for adding attachment to data source table user should have import_admin role and user with that role can run transform map

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi, I have exactly the same problem and I’m admin. How can I fix this?

In our case, the API returns an application/pdf in the attachment of the http response.

I'm on New York.

thanks

This is what we are doing:

1. Getting the ResponseBody.

var response = sm.execute();
var responseBody = response.getBody();

2. Creating an attachment using the below code, where gr is the GlideRecord to which file is attached. 

attachment.write(gr,"SampleJson","json",responseBody); 

It worked for me.

Thanks,
Rahul
