Back to Docusign.com
The error I am getting is as follows:{"errorCode":"API_REQUEST_IS_FORBIDDEN","message":"The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage"}
However when I do not set the email_settings it is working perfectly fine.
I also see in documentation that only users with canManageAccount can use this setting. This is an API key that has been generated. how do I give that access to that key ? Or is that not a best practice ?

- To call email_settings or other admin-level endpoints, the API user must have canManageAccount.
- You give that permission by making the DocuSign user associated with the Integration Key an admin (or assigning a custom permission profile that includes canManageAccount).
- If you only need to do occasional config changes, consider using an admin user just for those tasks and a non-admin user for daily sending.
