Failed to load image Error

[etherealandrew (v_V)]

Hi All,
I’m trying to insert clothes ID into a shirt / pants template I’m saving in server storage, but whenever I try it says “Failed to load image. User is not authorized to access asset.”

I did this yesterday with the same clothes and it worked, but now it’s not? I’m confused on why

I did manage to find this article about a similar topic, but I own the clothes I’m trying to insert: User is not authorized to access Asset

Here’s an image of the clothes w/ me owning it + the ID

Ripped Skater Pants

If your asset is still pending approval or has been archived, it can’t load until it’s approved or unarchived, LoadAsset only works when your places creator (user or group) matches the asset owner, so mismatched ownership will throw this error.

Owning the catalog item doesn’t mean you own that items underlying image

I believe the pants item points to a hidden PNG thats private, and studio tries to download that png when you insert the pants into an object rather than applying it to a character

As far as I know it doesn’t really break anything, the pants will still show up on characters in-game. Instead of putting the pants on an object in server storage, apply the pants when you need to

local desc = humanoid:GetAppliedDescription() 
desc.Pants = "rbxassetid://<ID>" 
humanoid:ApplyDescription(desc)

This asset isn’t pending approval as it was made and added by roblox about a decade ago. The archived part I’m not sure about since I can easily search for the clothes on Marketplace.

I’m saving the clothes under server storage so an NPC load script can randomize the clothes NPC’s spawn with, so I don’t think saving all the clothes ID’s I need in a dictionary will really help.

The issue I’m having is that I was able to freely insert clothes into studio with no issues yesterday, but for some reason today If I try to do the same with the exact same clothing that error is now appearing.

Oh just saw this, might be a new bug from this update:

Expanded Sharing for Assets

Hi Creators, Last year, we expanded the permissions system to let you share audio and video assets with groups. Today, we’re enabling sharing of images, decals, meshes, mesh parts, and models with friends and groups. We’re also expanding package sharing to enable sharing with groups. Finally, we’re enhancing the auto-sharing functionality to help reduce future asset insert permission errors for your collaborators. Expanded Sharing To better facilitate collaboration, you can now share your ima…

A couple other posts have been talking about similar issues recently so it might be something to do with that, but I’m not sure

EDIT: nvm this update actually fixed that issue I believe, maybe restart studio? lmao idk

Well, any asset owned by someone else (including Roblox) will error unless your place is owned by Roblox too, no? I believe this was simply just a bug which was fixed in the latest update?

Just saw this too, Was also able to fix the issue from it.

So now you have to InsertService clothes to actually get the clothes… which is a really wacky thing to change about clothes insertion… but it works?
