yeah, you basically need to trickle down the service account across all objects - even the record type that you are updating

Did you add the service account as initiator on the process behind the API?

Have you provided the rights to the service account on the webapi?

did you configure API keys or oauth2.0 clients? can you please share the screenshot of the Appian Admin console?

If your environment is only accessed using VPN then you must run the postman request from your desktop in a VPN environment. In the case of VPN secured environment, you cannot access the Appian endpoint outside your VPN tunnel.

First go to admin console -> Web API Authentication -> Configure webapi key / connected system using a service account. After configuring it will give you clientId and clientsecret or webapi key depending on what you configure. Save the key somewhere and use it in postman.

Then create a connected system in postman and use the webapi.

In case of connected system use this config

In case of webapi key use this config

After this inherit the token and call your API subsequent web API address

curl --location --request POST 'WEBAPI ADDRESS' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer Token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw 'jsonRequestBody'

Hope this will help you. Make sure the service account has at least viewer permission to web API. If you are calling a process model from this webapi then that service account must have at least initiator permission for the process model.
