Problem type

forbidden

Type URI

https://docs.telebugs.com/rest-api/problems/forbidden.html

Status code

403 Forbidden

Reasons

The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.

This problem occurs when:

  1. The authenticated user does not have the required privileges (e.g. admin role).
  2. The user does not have access to the requested resource (e.g. a project or app they are not a member of).

Remedy

  • Use an API key belonging to a user with the necessary role or membership.
  • For admin-only operations, ensure the key is for an admin user (see Account Settings → Team).
