Difference between Forbidden and Unauthorized on Dynamic Event

Hello,

I don’t understand the difference between Forbidden and Unauthorized when adding a Dynamic Event on a Server Connect Form:

I haven’t tested this lately, but I believe Unauthorized is if the security provider indicates the user has not logged in. Forbidden is if the user has logged in, but does not have the proper permission.

Also
Unauthorized corresponds to HTTP status 401
Forbidden corresponds to HTTP status 403

From auth0.com …

401 Unauthorized is the status code to return when the client provides no credentials or invalid credentials. 403 Forbidden is the status code to return when a client has valid credentials but not enough privileges to perform an action on a resource.

I always thought it would be great if the HTTP status codes were referenced in Wappler, instead of saying just error/unauthorized/success etc., it would also show the HTTP status code that it is equivalent to. Might simplify some things for newer users. I was confused too way back in the past.
