API

forbidden

HTTP 403. Forbidden

What it means

You are signed in but not allowed to do this.

What to do

The scope is fine but a role or ownership rule says no: you do not own the item, you are not an admin of the organization, or the action is reserved for a signed-in person. Private resources you may not see answer not_found instead.

Retrying

Do not retry the same request. Change it first.

Example

json

{
  "type": "https://reuseforge.com/docs/api/errors/forbidden",
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "status": 403,
  "detail": "You are not allowed to do this.",
  "instance": "/api/v1/items/acme/invoice-extractor",
  "code": "forbidden",
  "request_id": "req_c4v8n2m6x1z3"
}

Every error is application/problem+json (RFC 9457). Branch on code, show detail to people and quote request_id when you ask for help. See the error catalogue.
