🔍 What the 403 error means

A 403 Forbidden error means the Authority Building 30-Day Growth Plan page rejected the request. This can happen when OTTO uses an outdated page link, your session has expired, or the feature is not correctly enabled for the workspace. Workspace owners and administrators should normally be able to access the plan.

🧭 Open Authority Building from the current menu

  1. Sign in to Search Atlas and confirm that you are using the correct workspace.
  2. Open Authority from the left sidebar.
  3. Open an available Authority section, such as PR Distribution, Cloud Stacks, Indexer, QUEST AI Visibility, Campaigns, or Inbox.
  4. Return to OTTO and try opening the Authority Building 30-Day Growth Plan again.

🔄 Try these quick fixes

  • Refresh the page and sign in again.
  • Open Search Atlas in a private or incognito browser window.
  • Clear the browser cache and cookies for Search Atlas.
  • Disable browser extensions that block scripts or redirect links.
  • Try a current version of Chrome, Edge, or another supported browser.
  • Make sure your subscription and workspace are active.

👥 Check your workspace access

Open the top-right avatar menu and select Team Members. Confirm that your account is listed as an active Admin or Member in the correct workspace. If you belong to multiple workspaces, switch to the workspace where OTTO and the plan were set up.

🧾 What to include when reporting the issue

If the error continues, note the exact steps that produce it, the workspace name, your account role, the browser you used, and the approximate time of the attempt. A screenshot of the 403 page can also help the team identify an outdated link or workspace provisioning issue.
