Hi,

I am trying to make an API call using curl command from my unix box to create template job in Ansible tower with my login credentials. I am getting error "You do not have permission to perform this action". 

However I am able to perform other POST actions like creating inventory, adding host to inventory and other GET api calls.

Below my code snippet

curl -k -s -u $CREDENTIAL -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
         "https://{tower-url}/api/v2/organizations/{id}/job_templates/" \
         -- data '{
                        "name": ""
                        "job_type": ""
                        "inventory": ""
                         "project": ""
                         "playbook": ""
                         "verbosity": ""
                        }'

I am not able to see any examples in google for creating a job template, but in the below ansible site APIs are present, https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towerapi/api_ref.html#/

Is it possible to create job template via API?

I have no idea, but this is the ansible mailing list.
You will probably get a better response on the dedicated awx list:
