Cannot update user role through REST API (rest_user_invalid_role)

    Hello, I have created a custom role named ‘User Manager’, which is used only to run REST API calls. Custom role allows creating users (it works) and should also update user roles (doesn’t work)

    User Manager granted rights:

    Read
Create Roles	
Create Users	
Delete Roles	
Delete Users	
Edit Roles	
Edit Users	
List Roles	
List Users	
Promote Users	
Remove Users
ure_edit_roles

    When creating a user as for endpoint /wp/v2/users, WITHOUT specifying user role, the user creation will succeed, and user will be created with role ‘subscriber’.

    As soon as user creation will include the roles parameter, an error is thrown:

    http returned code: rest_user_invalid_role
    http returned text; Sorry, you are not allowed to give users that role
    status: 403

    The error seems to be fired here

    What permission are missing in your opinion?

    It looks like roles cannot be set on user creation! Can only be edited on existing user. We can close this
