gRPC 7 PERMISSION_DENIED vs 10 ABORTED
Both gRPC 7 (PERMISSION_DENIED) and 10 (ABORTED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 7 indicates that the caller does not have permission to execute the specified operation. This is not for unauthenticated callers — use UNAUTHENTICATED instead. Meanwhile, 10 means that the operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort.
Descripción
The caller does not have permission to execute the specified operation. This is not for unauthenticated callers — use UNAUTHENTICATED instead.
Cuándo lo verás
The authenticated user lacks the required role, scope, or policy to perform this action. Different from UNAUTHENTICATED (code 16), which means no credentials at all.
Cómo solucionarlo
Verify the caller has the correct IAM role, API scope, or access policy. Check RBAC configuration on the server side.
Descripción
The operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort.
Cuándo lo verás
A transaction or optimistic concurrency check failed — for example, a read-modify-write cycle detected a conflict with another concurrent operation.
Cómo solucionarlo
Retry the entire read-modify-write sequence from the beginning. Implement proper optimistic concurrency control with version tokens or ETags.
