Hi Vikas and Sam,
I did some digging into this, and it looks like it was a known issue back in the SOAP API days, filed as defect SOS-DEF-843. We dropped that bug since we were EOLing that API in favor of REST. Well, we didn't learn our lesson, apparently, because the REST API doesn't respect the correct permissions, either. We have updated SOS-DEF-843 to reflect that it is also a REST issue, and the REST team has it on their backlog.
So unfortunately, the REST user will require more permissions than a user performing these actions in the GUI.

Subject: Rest API - permission issue
We observed that even though an user is able to create testplans and testgroups through Jama UI, the same user is not able to create testplans and testgroups through REST APIs.
Users are able to create testplans and testgroups only if they have at least Manage Project permission for that project. This seems inconsistent.
Have anyone else encountered this issue? Is this by design or is this a bug?
