Solutions

1. Grant the user 'Read Pack' permission on the project
2. Include valid OneDev credentials in pip config (index-url with user:password or keyring)
3. If the package should be public, enable anonymous pack read for unauthenticated projects

Example fix

null

var project = projectService.load(projectId);
if (!SecurityUtils.canReadPack(project)) throw new IllegalStateException('Missing pack read permission on ' + project.getPath());

try { pipInstall(); } catch (UnauthorizedException e) { configureCredentialsOrRequestAccess(); }

When it happens

Trigger: Any needsToWrite=false endpoint (pip install from the project's ~pypi/simple index, package listing) by a user failing SecurityUtils.canReadPack.

Common situations: Anonymous or low-privilege user installing a private package; CI job in another project without cross-project pack read access; credentials not passed to pip.

Understand the failure class

Background: Permission denied / not authorized / 403 Forbidden: access-control rejections when the caller lacks the required role, grant, or ownership — this error's family across 18 libraries.
