ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in ApiUsersController#create
===

I am not able to create new api_user. Everytime I try to create it I get 

    Can't mass-assign protected attributes: utf8, authenticity_token, api_user, commit, action, controller

here's my model `api_user.rb`

    class ApiUser < ActiveRecord::Base
     attr_accessible :api_key, :count, :email, :name, :organization
    end

controller `api_users_controller.rb`

    class ApiUsersController < ApplicationController
     #skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
  
     def new
      @api_user = ApiUser.new
     end
  
     def create
		@api_user=ApiUser.create(params)
		render :text=>"#{@api_user.id}"
	end

	def destroy
		@api_user=ApiUser.find(params[:id])
		@api_user.destroy
		render :text=>"Deleted successfully"
	end
     end


I am using Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.2.3
