- `401`: Unauthorized – authentication credentials are missing or invalid Returned when the request was not fulfilled because authentication has failed or has not been provided.
- `403`: Action forbidden - insufficient permissions to perform this action Returned, for example, when you don't have permissions necessary to perform this action.
- `404`: Not found Returned when the label that you're trying to update cannot be found. This can happen, for example, when the label or corresponding label group doesn't exist, or the provided ID is incorrect.
