Error: You do not have permission to access the feature you are requesting

Questions OAuth/OIDC

I’m trying to configure a redirect auth flow integration for the Graphweaver open source project using @okta/okta-auth-js.

I’ve created a trial and configured a SPA application using the Okta CLI.

When I attempt to log in I get the following error:

{
    "errorCode": "E0000015",
    "errorSummary": "You do not have permission to access the feature you are requesting",
    "errorLink": "E0000015",
    "errorId": "oaelqgwAC8wQNqPdQha4FsaMA",
    "errorCauses": []
}

Source code for the integration, in particular the calls to the @okta/okta-auth-js library are here: graphweaver/src/packages/auth-ui-components/src/components/okta/login/component.tsx at feature/okta-auth · exogee-technology/graphweaver · GitHub

I have followed the steps in this guide Sign users in to your SPA using the redirect model | Okta Developer except that I don’t want to use the okta-react library as we integrate with many auth providers, so we just want to treat this as a standard JWT with a JWKS URI.

How do I get the flow to work?

Can you try setting the issuer for the OktaAuth client to just your Okta domain URL (e.g. https://example.okta.com) and see if you still get the same error?

Yup, I found that in a different thread and tried it. Different but equally blocking error.

Ok, I figured you’d want a reproduction case, so here you go: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/66hjm5

As you can see from that code example:

  • The issuer is just the trial okta domain.
  • The client ID is an SPA configured in our okta domain.
  • Clicking the Login button gives the error:
AuthApiError
You do not have permission to perform the requested action
    at v (https://66hjm5.csb.app/node_modules/okta/okta-auth-js/umd/default.js:2:82099
    at eval (https://66hjm5.csb.app/node_modules/okta/okta-auth-js/umd/default.js:2:84769

If I remove the issuer the error says:

No issuer passed to constructor. Required usage: new OktaAuth({issuer: "https://{yourOktaDomain}.com/oauth2/{authServerId}"})

So if I follow that requirement, I get the issuer as I’ve put there commented out. When I uncomment this line I get:

You do not have permission to access the feature you are requesting

Can you please fork that CodeSandbox and correct it so that it works?
