403 forbidden when I try to post to my spring api?

Question

Using postman, I can get a list of users with a get request to: http://localhost:8080/users.

But when I send a post request to the same address, I get a 40

403 means you don't have authorization. Even though you commented out your method, your code will still be preconfigured with default security access.

You can add:

http.authorizeRequests()
   .antMatchers("/users/**").permitAll();

UPDATE : The configuration with csrf disabled:

http.csrf()
     .ignoringAntMatchers("/users/**")
     .and()
     .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/users/**").permitAll();
