Keep the code in its namespace
What this code does—and does not—tell you
The words “403” and “access denied” can also refer to the separate HTTP 403 Forbidden status. Roblox's article is specifically about its PC client launch behavior; the number alone does not tell you which system produced it.
Conservative next step
Where to check next
Confirm that the message is from the Roblox PC client, then consult Roblox's official article for its operating-system-specific guidance. Do not apply generic HTTP permission advice to the Roblox client code.
