Hello,  
I am a new using wanb. I want to experiment tracking by using wandb and executing python commands. However I get this error.

wandb: Currently logged in as: bassfaye10. Use `wandb login --relogin` to force relogin  
wandb: ERROR failed to upsert bucket: returned error 403 Forbidden: {“errors”:[{“message”:“permission denied”,“path”:[“upsertBucket”],“extensions”:{“code”:“PERMISSION\_ERROR”}}],“data”:{“upsertBucket”:null}}  
How to solve this error?  
Thanks in advance,

Hi @bassfaye10 ,happy to help. Could you please share the following to better assess the issue:

-Kindly expound your specific use case/experiment  
-Code Snippet  
-Environment Set up  
-the `debug.log` and `debug-internal.log`. These files are under your local folder `wandb/run-<date>_<time>-<run-id>/logs` in the same directory where you’re running your code.

Hi [@JoanaMarieL](https://github.com/JoanaMarieL),  
I want to use machine learning for tooth segmentation. So I’ve found an example on github on this link: [GitHub - limhoyeon/ToothGroupNetwork: 3D Dental surface segmentation with Tooth Group Network](https://github.com/limhoyeon/ToothGroupNetwork). I want to initiate myself on machine learning by compiling this project.  
Here are informations that you need:

1. **Code Snippet:**

### train.py

_if config[“wandb”][“wandb\_on”]:  
wandb.init(  
entity=self.config[“wandb”][“wandb\_entity”],  
project=self.config[“wandb”][“project”],  
notes=self.config[“wandb”][“notes”],  
tags=self.config[“wandb”][“tags”],  
name=self.config[“wandb”][“name”],  
config=self.config,  
)_

1. **Full stack trace error:**

I have the same issue on and off as well.  
Sometimes after I delete the .netrc file, it works and sometime it does not. Help is appreciated.

Hi everyone ,

I encountered a similar error, it might be a permission error when you try to initialize WandB in your python script.

When you do:

wandb.init(  
project=“My\_project,  
entity=“name\_of\_the\_users\_team”  
)

Check what you have as entity, you might change it with your personal one in your WandB profile website.

Go to the account settings in your WandB profile, under the name ‘group’ you should find your entity name to insert there!

I solved my problem in this way, I hope it helped!
