When I attempt to create a user, I get the following error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cForbidden \u2014 You don\u2019t have permission to access this resource.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am logged in as an Administrator, and this was working correctly as recently as last week\u2014I was able to add new users without any issues then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing obvious has changed on my end since, so I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s causing the permission error now. Any insight into what could trigger this or where I should start troubleshooting would be appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18800511","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-403-forbidden"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18800511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18800511\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18800511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
