    Hello everybody.

    I trying to create gre tunnel on edge (NSX-V 6.4.6.14819921) using Rest API.

    Post request to https://nsx-manager/api/4.0/edges/edge-15/tunnels

    XML for creating:

    <tunnel>

    <name>GRE-T1</name>

    <description>GRE Tunnel 1</description>

    <type>gre</type>

    <enabled>true</enabled>

    <sourceAddress>x.x.x.x</sourceAddress>

    <destinationAddress>y.y.y.y</destinationAddress>

    <tunnelInterface>

    <mtu>1380</mtu>

    <tunnelAddresses>

    <tunnelAddress>z.z.z.1/30</tunnelAddress>

    </tunnelAddresses>

    </tunnelInterface>

    <greConfig>

    <enableKeepAliveAck>true</enableKeepAliveAck>

    </greConfig>

    <tunnelHealthCheck>

    <enabled>false</enabled>

    <type>ping</type>

    <interval>3</interval>

    <deadTimeMultiplier>4</deadTimeMultiplier>

    </tunnelHealthCheck>

    </tunnel>

    But I recieved this error:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <error>

        <errorCode>254</errorCode>

        <details>User is not authorized to access object edge-15 and feature edge.tunnel, please check object access scope and feature permissions for the user.</details>

        <moduleName>core-services</moduleName>

    </error>

    I using user with Enterprize administrator rights.

    Hey Yacudzer​,

    Your issue is because you are using a SSO user, you should use admin user to modify using API. One guy had this same issue in the past: NSX API and GRE Tunnels
