RetryableYes
Error codeFORBIDDEN

Summary​

The caller is authenticated but does not have permission to perform the requested operation on the specified resource.

When it occurs​

  • The authenticated user or certificate lacks the role or permission required for the operation (e.g., trying to delete a resource with a read-only role).
  • The resource exists but belongs to a different tenant or organizational unit the caller cannot access.
  • An administrator action is attempted by a non-administrator account.
  • Access control policies (OPA rules) deny the specific combination of user, action, and resource.

How to fix​

  • Verify that the account or certificate used has the required role and permissions for the operation.
  • Contact an administrator to grant the necessary permissions if appropriate.
  • Confirm you are accessing the correct resource within your authorized scope.
