Cloning Resources Error - No permission to access resource

SarahGhaya — Wed, 17 May 2023 10:16:18 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to clone a web map from a Portal A to a Portal B but I keep getting this error:

ItemCreateException: ('Failed to create Feature Service xxxxxx: You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation.\n(Error Code: 403)', None)

I am connecting to both the source portal and target portal with user admins.

What can be the reason behind this?

I am currently suffering from the same error. I was cloning items as an admin and it worked for a while and then just stopped and started giving me this error. I tried on different machines, updated my python environment, tried cloning different items, and nothing works anymore. Did you ever get it fixed?

Same here. I'm on Pro 3.5.4 connecting to Portal on 11.5 trying clone items from our test Portal to our prod Portal. I've tried connecting as a built-in user and with SSO. I also tried changing the sharing of the item and tried with different items.

You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation. (Error Code: 403)

I tried the whole process again with a built-in user on both the source and destination Portal orgs and the clone items operation is working now! The Esri Support AI Chatbot mentioned BUG-000135084 and suggested it.
