[zanata-users] Zanata REST - PUT 403 forbidden

[Patrick Huang]

Hi Haris,

The message means, you need to be the project maintainer to be able to do
that operation. I suppose you have set mergeType=import (which means, it
will override what's on the server with your translation). That operation
is potentially dangerous as it will wipe out the work. Therefore we require
higher privilege. On the other hand, mergeType=auto (the default if you
don't specify it), will check for each translation, whether it appears in
the translation history. If it is, Zanata assumes you are trying to upload
a obsolete translation and will skip it. It's generally considered to be
safer. Your user can do this operation without problem.
