Hello there,  
I’m currently facing an issue with 2FA and forgot password REST APIs that are not working properly.

https://{keycloak url}/auth/admin/realms/{realm name}/users/{userid}/execute-actions-email  
For 2FA -  
Headers =\> Authorization Token  
Method =\> PUT  
Request body =\> [“CONFIGURE\_TOTP”]

Response: Status code= 403 (forbidden)  
{  
error: “unknown\_error”  
}

https://{keycloak url}/auth/admin/realms/{realm name}/users/{userid}/execute-actions-email  
For Forgot password -  
Headers =\> Authorization Token  
Method =\> PUT  
Request body =\> [“UPDATE\_PASSWORD”]

Response: Status code= 403 (forbidden)  
{  
error: “unknown\_error”  
}

Kindly assist me in sorting this out.
