Any idea what I did wrong there? Thank you for an excellent plugin to an excellent forum platform.

To preclude an error with write-api, please try doing the request via cURL:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -X POST localhost:4567/api/v2/users --data "username=Panama.City&password=12345678&email=panama.city%40domain.com"

curl command did work. but it returns {"error": "Invalid Access Token"} and created the user account anyway. I am on amazon EC2 cloud... error could be from the server.

Doesn't look like one of the write-api's errors, so I don't think it's us that's sending it...
