DataStoreService: AccessForbidden: Access forbidden. API: GetAsync, Data Store

I just received the error: DataStoreService: AccessForbidden: Access forbidden. API: GetAsync, Data Store: PixelsPlaced when loading my game.

What does this mean?

Do you own the game you are editing or are you an editor?
It’s basically “Access Denied”

In the old days it was because of ownership but now with Colab that shouldn’t be the issue.
It’'s a pretty vague error IMO and lots of things could cause it. Even outages could throw that maybe.

Outside of that would need to see your code to access that datastore for a better insight

The game is under my group. I’m the only developer in the group and the only person that has access to it.

The error hasn’t happened again since, so I’m guessing it’s just Roblox code having another fluke.
