403 errors typically indicate a permissions or access-related issue in your pipeline setup. They may arise due to configuration changes or mismatched access credentials. Go to [role-based access control (RBAC)](/harness-ai/use-harness-platform/platform-access-control.md) to find out how to manage pipeline permissions.

Go to the [permission reference](/harness-ai/use-harness-platform/platform-access-control/permissions-reference.md) to review the specific permissions required for your pipeline execution.
