HTTP 403 — Forbidden
4xx Client Error
What it means
The server understood the request and knows who you are, but you are not allowed to do this. Authentication will not help.
What to do about it
Check the account's roles or scopes. On static hosting, a 403 on a directory usually means directory listing is disabled or file permissions are wrong.
Where it sits
403 belongs to the 4xx family: The request contains something the server will not or cannot process. The fix is normally on the client side.
