The HTTP error code 403 corresponds to the HTTP status “Forbidden”. This indicates that the server has understood the client’s request but refuses to fulfill it. The server explicitly prohibits the client from accessing the requested resource, usually not due to an error in the client’s request (unlike a 400 Bad Request, which is more about issues with the format of the request itself), but because the client lacks access permissions, the IP is restricted, or server-side configurations prevent the request.
For example, the website’s management backend may only allow access to users with specific IP ranges or account permissions, and a regular user attempting to access it will receive a 403 Forbidden status response; or the website may have IP-based access control, where requests from IPs not on the allowed list will also receive this status.
