PUT requests are often protected by authorization mechanisms. Common causes for a 403 with PUT include: 1) Insufficient permissions to modify the resource. 2) Incorrectly configured authorization headers (e.g., missing, misspelled, or invalid). 3) Rate limiting enforced by the server. 4) The resource is protected with a specific access control list (ACL) that the user lacks access to. 5) The server is configured to deny PUT requests from certain IP addresses.
