# Error: 401 Creating User

 * Any ideas?
 * I’m using this plugin with Daniel Loureiro’s (@loureirorg) solution to allow 
   creation of the user adding more fields than just username, email and password.
 * I’m getting this error.
 * {
    “code”: “rest_cannot_edit”, “message”: “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit
   this user.”, “data”: { “status”: 401 } }
 * Thanks for any help you might give!
