SuiteScript2.0 calling a Suitelet From User Event Not Working

Question

What Do I Want To Happen

I want to be able to call a Suitelet from a User Event passing in a record id.

What Currently Happens

Either a "INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSION" error is thrown or no error is thrown but the suitelet is not called.

The Details

Hey all, I'm trying to call a suitelet from a User Event. We have a record getting created with some data, upon creating that record in the user event I want to create a Customer and Sales Order. I also need the User Events of those records to fire off. I know a user event cannot trigger another user event so I have written a suitelet to call which will do the processing. I am trying to call the suitelet with the following code.

var scheme = 'https://';
var host = url.resolveDomain({
    hostType: url.HostType.APPLICATION
});
var suitletURL = url.resolveScript({
    scriptId : 'customscript_pws_sl_data',
    deploymentId : 'customdeploy_pws_sl_data'
});
var parameters = {
    dataid : scriptContext.newRecord.id,
};
log.debug("URL", scheme + host + suitletURL);
var response = https.post({
    url  : scheme + host + suitletURL + "&dataid=" + scriptContext.newRecord.id,
    body : parameters
});

Using this code, no errors are thrown, but the Suitelet is also not triggered. I know this because as soon as my suitelet triggers I log "Running"

log.debug("Running");
var user = runtime.getCurrentUser();
var script = runtime.getCurrentScript();

// Get parameters
var params = context.request.parameters;
log.debug("Context", JSON.stringify(context.request));
log.debug("Params", JSON.stringify(params));

Now I am logging the URL that the User Event is using and if I copy and paste that into the browser, the suitelet runs. So I know the URL is correct.

WHAT HAVE I TRIED

I have tried adding the

returnExternalUrl: true

parameter of the https call. Using this DOES call the Suitelet however I can an error stating

"type":"error.SuiteScriptError","name":"INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSION","message":"Permission Violation: You need the 'Lists -> Items' permission to access this page. Please contact your account administrator.","stack":["createError(N/error)","getOrderLines(/SuiteScripts/PWS Additional Modules/Additional Modules/Ecommerce Data/pws_lib_ecommerce.js:972)","processData(/SuiteScripts/PWS Additional Modules/Additional Modules/Ecommerce Data/pws_lib_ecommerce.js:109)","onRequest(/SuiteScripts/PWS Additional Modules/Additional Modules/Ecommerce Data/pws_sl_ecommdata.js:40)"],"cause":{"type":"internal error","code":"INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSION","details":"Permission Violation: You need the 'Lists -> Items' permission to access this page.

The Suite Deployment is set to "Available Without Login : true" and "All Roles : true"

Update

I am getting You must login before accessing this page.

I am logged in and calling it from a UserEvent

Setting both the User Event and Suitelet to run in Administrator mode and using the "returnExternalUrl: true" setting solved this problem :)

var suitletURL = url.resolveScript({
    scriptId          : 'customscript_pws_sl_data',
    deploymentId      : 'customdeploy_pws_sl_data',
    returnExternalUrl : true
});
