@dragotin: I think we should specify this to distinguish wrong credentials (a failed login due to wrong/expired user password) from accessing a resource without permissions with good credentials.

I guess:

  • for wrong credentials it is: 401 Unauthorized -- user may/will be asked to re-authenticate (password)
  • for good credentials but no permission it is: 403 Forbidden -- user won't be asked to reauthenticate.

Is this correct?
