Copy is blocked to the target folder due to invalid privilege escalation: Unsuccessful HTTP status code received


As of yesterday, user is unable to select a document to attach to a Box Sign Request, where the file attaching functionality worked a day prior. User is an Editor in the file/folder selected. We have not changed permissions for anyone in the organization for over a week.

 


Additionally user is unable to move files from one folder to another under the following circumstances, likely for the same reasons as above:

Folder 1: user permissions assigned via Group, granted Editor privileges

File within Folder 1 is requested to be copied/moved to Folder 2: user owns folder, so they have Owner privileges

Error dialog pops up:

You cannot move this item to the target destination because it leads to escalation of your privilege.
