How I can create user with REST_API wordpress?

Question

I need create user on Wordpress. I use WP_REST_API - this is default API for WP. You can look at it "YOU_SITE/wp-json/" I have ionic3 project and have function.

onSubmit(values){
    this.http.post(Config.WORDPRESS_URL + 'wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token',{
      username: 'admin',
      password: 'pass'
    })
    .subscribe(
      res => {
        let token = res.json().token;
          let header : Headers = new Headers();
          header.append('Authorization','Basic ' + token);
        this.http.post(Config.WORDPRESS_REST_API_URL + 'users?token=' + res.json().token,{
          username: values.username,
          name: values.displayName,
          email: values.email,
          password: values.password,
        },header)
        .subscribe(
          result => {
            console.log(result.json());
          },
          error => {
            console.log(error.json());
          }
        )
      },
      err => {
        console.log(err);
      }
    )
  }

But I always get error:

code: "rest_cannot_create_user",
message: "Sorry, but you can't create new user"
status: 401

admin:pass - this is admin on site and has a role admin. Also I added to .htaccess

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

Please help me to find a mistake

Have you installed the Basic Authentication plugin of the documentation ? developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/… — mmm

to use the token, try with "Bearer" instead of "basic" header.append('Authorization','Bearer ' + token); — mmm

Are you sure that login return a JWT? Try to log it. Then I noticed that you send the token via Authorization header and via query param. Try to exclude header and send only via query string and vice-versa. — minux

I found my issue and solution. I delete param TOKEN from URL and create options header

let header = new Headers({"Authorization": "Bearer "+token});
let options = new RequestOptions({headers: header});

I have next request

this.http.post(Config.REGISTER, {
            username: username,
            name: displayName,
            email: email,
            password: password,
            nonce: nonce
        }, options)

it is work for me.
