Laravel sanctum unit testing

Question

I am trying to make a unit test case for user registration. So I created test_user_registration for testing.

public function test_user_registration(){
     $this->withoutExceptionHandling();
     $this->withoutMiddleware();
     Bus::fake();
     Sanctum::actingAs(
         User::factory()->create(),
         ['*']
     );
     $response = $this->post('/api/users',[
         "firstName"=>"Kamal",
         "lastName"=>"Garu",
         "email"=>"Kamasll@gmail.com",
         "roleId"=>[4],
         "defaultRoleId"=>4,
         "investorId"=>[15],
         "defaultInvestorId"=>15,
         "streetAddress"=>"Jalur Banj",
         "postalCode"=>"977",
         "city"=>"bhaktapur",
         "countryId"=>160,
         "phone"=>9741801138,
         "status"=>1,
         "emailPortfolioReport"=>0,
         "emailInvestorActivities"=>0,
         "emailMarketUpdate"=>1,
         "isdCodeId"=>149,
         "roleType"=>["investorInternational"]
     ]);
     VerifyUser::dispatch($response);
     Bus::assertDispatched(VerifyUser::class);
     $response->assertStatus(200);
 }

When i run this test it returns Illuminate\\Auth\\Access\\AuthorizationException: not authorized.

Since i used Sanctum::actingAs why this error is fetch?? Please help

Check the permission of your route. Maybe it is available only to users with specific roles such as admin or something like that.
