REST | 403 | No permission for the requested operation

[Twinbird24]

I have a website that uses express checkout. I followed the docs to get it set up, and everything worked fine up until now (the sandbox account could make/receive payments). Now, I'm not able to make API calls to the sandbox to test the PayPal checkout on my website. I get the following error message when I click the "PayPal Checkout" button: 

Error: Error: Request to post https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment failed with 403 error.

Correlation id: ef45a9e652c21, ef45a9e652c21

{
  "name": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
  "message": "No permission for the requested operation",
  "information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors",
  "debug_id": "ef45a9e652c21"
}

I've changed nothing with the code on my website, and I'm not sure what to do to prevent this error.

I have the same issue, I created my own app just today, but unfortunately it doesn't work even with the production option. It gives the same permission denied response.

For me the same error within the production environment. I cant set a project to live untill this problem is fixed

Still having the same problem for last 5 days! Express Checkout always fails with my app's ClientID but work with provided demo ClientID.

Call: /v1/payments/payment

Response: 
{
"name": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
"message": "No permission for the requested operation",
"information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors",
"debug_id": "228a6449889b3"
}

Hi don't know why Paypal isn't posting this within this thread: but seems they are working on it
