Bulk Update Gradebook Column Issue

If we make the PUT API call(https://XX.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/891/custom_gradebook_column_data) with the below request

{

"column_data": [

{

"column_id": "214",

"user_id": 506,

"content": "PRESENT"

}

]

}

We are getting the below exception: 403 Forbidden: "{"status":"unauthorized","errors":[{"message":"user not authorized to perform that action"}]}"]

If we change the role of the user(506) from teacher to Student then it will work. Any Inputs here.

Note: I have created the token in the User profile.

Anyone have idea on this issue?

Hi @SurajPaigude,

I'm slightly confused... Are you saying user 506 is a teacher? If so, that would likely be the source of your problem. The only users that appear in the gradebook (and this could have custom column data) are students. Can you elaborate on why you're trying to populate the gradebook for a person with the teacher role?
