  I'm guessing the user is not being recognized and that can happen for a few reasons.

  
  

  It coudl be that your app is using an nginx proxy. There is a setting for this

  trustProxy

  . You can find more about that here:

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/production/preventing-abuse#rate-limiting-requests
  

  It can also be an issue with CSRF. Can you see in your browser network connection if you have any more information about the failing request?

  I reproduced this issue following Northflank tutorial here:

  
  https://northflank.com/guides/deploying-payload-cms
  
  

  In my payload.config.ts file I have set the following

  
  

    rateLimit: {
      trustProxy: true,
    },

  
  
  

  But I still get the 403 Forbitten error on all admin dashboard actions.

  
  
  

  My network tab shows the following on the failing request.

  
  

  Response headers:

  
  

  access-control-allow-headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization, Content-Encoding, x-apollo-tracing
  access-control-allow-methods: PUT, PATCH, POST, GET, DELETE, OPTIONS
  content-language: en
  content-length: 70
  content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
  date: Tue, 20 Dec 2022 09:39:32 GMT
  etag: W/"46-bd4yfQXS/voMs5vNOs0ci7W7Q7k"
  server: istio-envoy
  vary: X-HTTP-Method-Override, Accept-Encoding
  x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 8
  x-powered-by: Express
  x-ratelimit-limit: 500
  x-ratelimit-remaining: 487 <-- this looks OK right?
  x-ratelimit-reset: 1671529179

  
  
  

  Response body:

  
  

  {"errors":[{"message":"You are not allowed to perform this action."}]}

  
  
  

  I see the payload-token in the request headers inside the cookie

  
  

  
  

  SOLVED ✅

  
  
  

  After following the tip about CSRF and this tutorial, the problem was gone.

  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/overview#csrf-protection
  
  

  In short, you need to whitelist all your domains where the app is running in the payload.conf.ts file by adding the domains into the csrf array as follows:

  
  

    csrf: [
      'https://staging.code.run', // staging
      'https://production.code.run', // production
    ],
