When an action violates effective policy, APIs return 403 with payloads such as:
policy_violationpolicyKey(e.g.disableJsonExport,disablePlaygroundForRoles)- Human-readable
message
Common governance blocks in workflow automation:
PRODUCTION_APPROVAL_REQUIREDwhen lifecycle status is draft, in_review, or restrictedrequireApprovalBeforePublishwhen approval is attempted before submitrequireScanBeforePublishwhen security scan gates are enabled
The UI component BlockedByPolicy surfaces these errors. Ask your admin which workspace role you have and whether org or workspace policy blocks the action.
Tip: If your n8n/Make run fails in production, retry with environment: "staging", then submit and approve the prompt/stack in review queue before promoting.
