How to Add a User to a newly created Project in Workfront Fusion

I am trying to figure out how to add users to a project using Fusion. I have tried a Custom API call: Post and a Create Record for Project User. Neither work and produce a 422 error: [422] PRTU is not a top level object and can't be requested directly. I am trying to add a few users that will not be assigned to tasks to the new project and at the same time I need to remove the owner of the request from the converted request and add them to the project. Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Hi @jessicabcrum 

ProjectUser is a linking object, much like objectCategory and you can't modify those records directly. 

Using a customAPI call you can add a user to a project like so

@sven-ix Unfortunately I received an error. I have included a few screenshots of my input for the custom API call and the error I received.

Thanks for checking in @sven-ix! I ran it and did not receive an error; however the result was null:
 { "body": { "data": { "result": null } }


That's what I get too. Did you check the people's tab in the project? Or just get projectUsers before and after?
