access_denied

The server or end-user has denied the request.

Explanation

This error is used to indicate that the server or end-user denied an otherwise valid request. This is opposed to unauthorized_client which signals a problem with how the client is attempting to use the server.

Remediation

This server will provide an error_description to help understand why the error was returned. Common causes are:

  • the session has expired, become invalid, or otherwise no longer exists
  • the user denied the client's scope request
  • the supplied credentials were not correct
  • a request was made for a resource disallowed to the user
