I have changed nothing. All of a sudden all of my api calls are getting the api error: “You are not permitted to view the requested resource”. I even renewed my api keys and I have set the api users to have maximum privileges. Why is this happening all of a sudden??

Even if we backported a change to an older version, you wouldn’t receive it unless you manually updated your install. Discourse out of the box doesn’t come with any external services unless you …

I didn’t update anything and started getting 403 errors on all api calls. The only thing that fixed the errors was upgrading to the new version and changing request parameters to headers. Something is causing old versions to break due to the api changes even when they are standalone, self hosted and…
