This error occurs when the action or request from the user is restricted by the server. When this error occurs, re-authentication will not resolve it.
This error indicates restrictions due to permissions, or similar server logic.
If you see this error, then verify if the link or requested action is valid. If the resource request is valid then the user should contact the server support for troubleshooting.
The HTTP 403 Forbidden
response status code indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401
, but for the 403 Forbidden
status code re-authenticating makes no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
