Subject: [pdm-devel] [PATCH datacenter-manager] api: fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden if user does have access to resource
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 09:12:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105081254.40625-2-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)
As discussed in another patch series [1], if a user does not have
enough permissions to see a resource, we should fail with 403 Forbidden
instead of 401 Unauthorized. The UI relies on returning the correct
error codes, since a 401 will redirect the user to the login mask.

Notes:
There are a few instances where we return 401 in auth/tfa related code
which I didn't touch - not sure if any of these should also be replaced.
