Answer 1

You are getting a 403 Error because you are not passing the right bearer token. Here is an example

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/realms/demo/users' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
--data-raw '{"username" : "bburke", 
  "enabled": "true"

You can get the admin token using the below command

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'username=admin' \
--data-urlencode 'password=admin' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=admin-cli'

In place of username and password you need to provide the admin username and password and your client_id
