Permission Issue with POST /simpleJobPostings Endpoint

Question

I am facing with the POST /simpleJobPostings endpoint. When attempting to access this endpoint, I am encountering the following error:

{ "serviceErrorCode": 100, "message": "Not enough permissions to access: POST /simpleJobPostings", "status": 403 } Given that my access token is active and has the necessary permissions, I believe there may be an issue on the server-side preventing access to the POST /simpleJobPostings endpoint.

Could you please investigate this issue and provide assistance in resolving it? If there are any additional steps required from my end, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide further information.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi @Sonam kushwah ,

If you are including the scope r_liteprofile , you need to replace that scope with r_basicprofile. The minimal permissions allowed for /me access are r_basicprofile from version 202306 onward.

After updating the permissions, you need to wait at least five minutes before testing since there is a caching bug with the LinkedIn API access tokens.

There was a recent post on Stack Overflow documenting the same permissions error when trying to access that endpoint so your issue could be related to this.

If you have already included the r_basicprofile scope and removed the r_liteprofile scope but are still facing this issue, I would recommend creating a support ticket with LinkedIn Developer Platform.
