This was originally permitted for forum moderators and course staff as a way to fight spam, but it was decided that this functionality was too dangerous to open up that widely. There are some tentative plans around how to make this a more fully supported feature, but until then, we're restricting this to global staff on the Ulmo release branch as an interim measure. The frontend was already disabled in the Ulmo release, meaning that this will be a backend-only API (i.e. if you really know what you're doing and absolutely need this functionality). The assumption is that this feature will continue to be developed on the master branch and will be in better shape for Verawood.
