[ckan-dev] action api problem

Hi Armin,

Did you look in the ini? There are some options, but Organisation creation is not one of them.

To create organisations you need a user that is an Admin. Have you made this particular user an Admin?

Regards Tim

Subject: [ckan-dev] action api problem

hello together,
i try to create new organizations with the action api organization_create command as default user seanh under ckan 2.5.2 (ubuntu 14.04).
the organization has only id, name, title, description and image_url elements.
i get following response:

response: {"help": "http://192.168.2.132/api/3/action/help_show?name=organization_create", "success": false, "error": {"message": "Access denied: <function organization_create at 0x7f9d4a66e578> requires an authenticated user", "__type": "Authorization Error"}}
what is the problem? have this feature to be activated in the ini file or are there some missing elements for the organization (maybe my user itself) ?
thanx in advance
armin
