## Variant phrasings

### Gorgias API 403 with valid credentials - the app permission gap

## Why it happens

A 403 from Gorgias means your credentials authenticate fine but the app is not allowed to touch the resource. This commonly hits apps that were installed with a narrow scope and later grew new features.

## Edge cases

- If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
- If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.
