HTTP 207 Multi-Status vs 403 Forbidden
HTTP 207 (Multi-Status) is a 2xx Success response, while 403 (Forbidden) is a 4xx Client Error response. 207 indicates that the response body contains status information for multiple resources, in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate (WebDAV). 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.
