| The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation | [`forbidden`](/code/api/errors/forbidden) | Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them. | None. |
| The Thing is not deleted | [`refused`](/code/api/errors/refused) | Clear what the check names, then call it again. | None. |
