API test for Moodle (v2.6) with Postman

Question

Objective is to use the Moodle web services to fetch information via Postman. In this case

Webservice function : core_enrol_get_enrolled_users
Already created a user that had the rights to access the content
wsToken used as a parameter

When sending the GET command in Postman, getting the below error

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EXCEPTION class="webservice_access_exception">
    <ERRORCODE>accessexception</ERRORCODE>
    <MESSAGE>Access control exception</MESSAGE>
</EXCEPTION>

What are the possible missing configuration for the above error ?

Did you create a web service and added that function to it? – mohessaid Dec 04 '17 at 04:17 — mohessaid, Dec 04 '17 at 04:17

Go to

http://www.yoursite.com/admin/settings.php?section=webservicesoverview

...where "www.yoursite.com" is the domain of your site.

and follow the steps. They are very helpful, usually.

Have you tried POSTing the request with the wstoken in the URL i.e. part of GET?

I am getting the same error while using POST. And the website you gave does not have any steps. Kindly provide a relevant link. – Shantanu Mitra Nov 20 '17 at 23:28

I didn't expect you to click that link without altering it first – Pete Nov 21 '17 at 14:46
Working now. The issue was with the user authorization setup in moodle, that is not a very intuitive process. Thanks for the support. – Shantanu Mitra Nov 26 '17 at 02:47
