# forbidden

HTTP 403 · Requests and sign-in (SPEC §15.3, §20.1)

Your role or token scope doesn't allow this. Ask an owner or admin for access.

## Does retrying help?

Not until something else changes. The message says what: a plan, an add-on, a setting or a role. The same request then works.

## The response

Every Flatstack error has this shape. `details`, when present, says more about this case.
