Why a REST client or API call keeps getting "The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action" even if the roles are configured correctly? What could be missing?

TL;DR
Developers are experiencing authorization issues with a REST client despite correct role configurations. Check if the API request includes the correct authorization headers or tokens. Additionally, ensure that the user making the request has the necessary permissions assigned in the system.
