Hello, The thing to remember with permissions is that if you don't have permission to do something using the website, you won't have permission to do it using the API. Mark

thanks Mark for answering!

Greetings. I have several thousand posts, replies and members to move over from several websites. My plan is to use the API to do so and I have just started experimenting. I have successfully logged

Nevermind -- I got this one working by posting the request differently. Thank you! All good (for the moment) -Ken W
