Droplet error: you are not authorized to perform this action (403: forbidden)

If you encounter a you are not authorized to perform this action (403: forbidden) error when adding your DigitalOcean droplet with a DigitalOcean API Token, this means that your API token doesn't have the necessary permissions to perform this DeployHQ server configuration process.

To fix this, make sure that your DigitalOcean API Token has, at least, the following scopes:

• droplet -> read/update
• ssh_keys -> full access

You can see your existing DigitalOcean API Tokens in the following page.

Once these scopes are saved in DigitalOcean's system, try adding the droplet with this token once more in DeployHQ.
