I am a Professor and assign students to create StoryMaps. In one case, a student created one but is getting the message: "An error has occurred. You are not authorized to access this story." When she logs in to her profile, I can see that she has made from the Profile menu the StoryMap and that it is public. We are both logging in through the University of South Florida institutional access. I can also see a screenshot that was taken of StoryMap when she originally uploaded link to assignment system.

I can find that item's entry. Then if I open the item:

I get the message that the ArcGIS Online subscription associated with this item has been suspended.
