Redis ERR operation not permitted

Operation not allowed, typically due to security settings.
  1. Check if the command you are trying to execute is allowed in the context of your current Redis use. For specific command restrictions, consult the Redis documentation or run COMMAND INFO your_command to see if there are any special permissions or limitations.
  2. If you are using Redis with ACLs (Access Control Lists), ensure your user has the necessary permissions to execute the command. Use ACL LIST to review user permissions and ACL WHOAMI to check your current user. If you find a permissions issue, and you have the ability to modify ACLs, use ACL SETUSER user +command|-command to adjust permissions appropriately.
  3. Verify if the Redis instance is in a read-only state due to being a replica or due to the read-only configuration setting. Run INFO replication to check the role of your Redis instance and if it's a replica, ensure you are sending write commands to the primary node.
  4. Ensure your Redis version supports the command you are trying to use. Some commands may not be available in older versions. Use INFO server to check your Redis version.
  5. Check if the key you are trying to access is locked by another operation, especially if you are using Redis transactions or Lua scripts that may lock keys. There isn't a direct Redis command to check for locks, but consider the logic of your application and whether it might have implemented locking mechanisms.
