Bad request when creating a quiz submission

[hfernandez1]

Hello guys:

I'm trying to create a new quiz submission using Canvas LMS API with Postman, but I got a JSON with this message:

URL: https://<my_domain>.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/11/quizzes/82/submissions?access_token=<my_token>

JSON:

{

  "status": "bad_request",

  "message": "you are not allowed to participate in this quiz",

  "error_report_id": 983

}

Could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?, should I do it in another way? I'm an admin BTW.

Right off the bat, it sounds like a permissions issue.

What level of access do you have, are you an admin?

Have you tested by masquerading as the user?

Sorry for the late reply,  @garth 

I messed up, I didn't realize that I was a Teacher and not a Student in the course that I was testing. Changed my role to Student and that did the work .

 @hfernandez1  That's good news, I love it when it's easy
