kuhlaid (Mar 12 2025 at 14:32): kuhlaid (Mar 12 2025 at 14:32):I am trying to make an API call to demo.dataverse.org to create a collection but receive an error User @xxx is not permitted to perform requested action. It would be nice if https://demo.dataverse.org supported testing of the API. I'm trying to test a public API curation framework (https://github.com/kuhlaid/dv-api-test) that simplifies common Dataverse API actions and would like the public to be able to test easily. I can personally use the https://demo-dataverse.rdmc.unc.edu domain but am not sure if the public can use it to test API calls.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 12 2025 at 14:39):Are you trying to create a collection in the root collection?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 12 2025 at 14:39):It should work! :sweat_smile:
kuhlaid (Mar 12 2025 at 14:55):Hi @Philip Durbin ☀️ , yes I'm trying to create a collection at the root when I receive the error. You are welcome to spin up the Notebook in MyBinder and test it yourself.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 12 2025 at 15:16):Can you please try changing...
"_cc__strDvApi_PARENT_COLLECTION": "root",
... to...
"_cc__strDvApi_PARENT_COLLECTION": ":root",
...?
