# Access denied to application on Deploy Stage without application WRITE permissions

### Issue <a href="#issue" id="issue"></a>

Currently, application `WRITE` permissions are required to use the Deploy Stage in Spinnaker with AWS, GCP, Titus and other deployment targets.However, when using the Kubernetes provider, only `EXECUTE` permissions are needed to use the Deploy Stage.This is an open issue in OSS Spinnaker: [spinnaker/spinnaker#6400](https://github.com/spinnaker/spinnaker/issues/6400)`EXECUTE` application permissions were developed recently and, so far, have only been fully implemented on the Kubernetes V2 provider. It is possible to set `EXECUTE` permissions on the Deploy Stage for other targets, however the stage will also require application `WRITE` permissions to run successfully.

### Cause <a href="#cause" id="cause"></a>

Deploy stage on\*\* targets other than the Kubernetes provider\*\* does not run successfully because it does not have application `WRITE` permissions set.
