HTTP 403 Forbidden error on API call
We were able to solve this by changing the URL to not use the API to find the users My Reports folder, but instead form it through string concatenation. Our working assumption is that the 'folders' endpoint requires Browser permissions on the root folder if no path parameter is given since it would then try to filter starting from root.
They should just need the "My Reports" permission. However I think the actual My Reports folder only gets created the first time the go the report portal so maybe the people getting this error have either not visited the portal or do not have the My Reports permission.
