HTTP 201 Created vs 403 Forbidden
HTTP 201 (Created) is a 2xx Success response, while 403 (Forbidden) is a 4xx Client Error response. 201 indicates that the request succeeded and a new resource was created. Typically returned after POST or PUT requests that create a new entity. In contrast, 403 means that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. Unlike 401, authentication will not help — the user simply does not have permission.
