 * I need to import a large number of users on a large number of sites.
 * I am using the rest API and this endpoint, on a paid Premium-package site:
 * [https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/123/users](https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/123/users)(
   blog id modified for privacy)
 * This is the error I receive.
 * {“code”:”forbidden_request”,”message”:”That API call is not allowed for this 
   account.”,”data”:{“status”:403}}
 * I have a valid access token and believe I have the appropriate permissions.
 * Any ideas?

 * Some supplemental information on this that I suspect is the core problem:
 * This is a picture from when I created my app. Note that my user has full permissions
   including the ability to create users:

 * However, when the system asks the user to grant permissions, the scope is narrowed:
