Problem Determination

  1. For some Confluence Cloud API removals, you may see the following if you do not have an updated CLI client:
    1. Remote error: Action disallowed. Response code: 403.
    2. Remote error: Unknown error occurred on the server. Response code: 501.
  2. If you are NOT using the email address and API token for your user credentials for accessing Cloud sites (see Authentication), you will likely receive: Remote error: User is not authorized to perform the request. Response code: 401.
  3. Even when using an API token, we have cases of 401 errors caused by older API tokens. Revoke the existing token and generate a new token. Then execute the CLI command.
