Answer 1

It looks like you are using the wrong endpoint, change it to

http://localhost:8180/auth/admin/realms/public-library/users

And keep in mind, the user who is performing the POST request need to have at least the manage-users realm-management role assigned. Otherwise the response will be 403 Forbidden

Answer 2

What you need to do is go to the realm you are using in keycloak. Then go to the users section and select the user you are you using for the request. Under role Mappings, select realm management and assign this user the role realm admin and manage users role. After that, you will be able to make requests
