I recently switched from Robot Web Services 1 to 2 and noticed one difference in behaviour.  
In the previous version, I was able to stop the execution of a RAPID task as a remote user via the **/rw/rapid/execution?action=stop** endpoint.

When I try to do the same with the Robot Web Service 2 equivalent **/rw/rapid/execution/stop** , I keep getting a response of

_rws\_resource\_rapid\_execution.cpp[1206] The user is not allowed access code:-1073445867 icode:-757_

As far as I can tell, the documentation for this endpoint makes no mention of restrictions.

> **[ABB-Robot Web Services](https://developercenter.robotstudio.com/api/RWS?urls.primaryName=RAPID%20Service)**

Is there any (new) requirement for this call in Robot Web Services 2 that I’m missing?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Florian,

Please report this to your local ABB, as a potential bug with RWS2.

Best regards,

Hello,

I was wondering if you had any luck resolving the issue, or at least figuring out if it is an actual bug of RWS2. I am facing the exact same problem.

Kind regards,
