## What the `detail` says

The `detail` explains the occurrence; it can read, for example:

- Only an owner can make, change or remove an owner.
- You can't grant or change a role that has permissions you don't have.

## Handling it

The request is understood but refused; retrying it unchanged fails again.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "https://docs.nexafone.so/errors/role_escalation",
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "role_escalation",
  "detail": "Only an owner can make, change or remove an owner.",
  "requestId": "01J9Z8Q4TQ3W6M5V2X7Y8Z9A0B"
}
```

Match on `code`, never on `detail`: the wording may change. See [Problem Details](/v1/errors/).
