Hi @AndrewChar I was having the same error, and in my case the problem was that I was using a token with `read` role. When I change it to one with `write` role, it worked for me. I hope this can help you 🙂 ---

Hi Ranit, In the tokens’ section of the settings ([Hugging Face – The AI community building the future.](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens)), you can create a new token specifying the role _write_. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/2X/c/c9233743c8aee815626b65c2d0d4a03f340a5971.png) Then you can use that one when you try to login: `huggingface-cli login` I hope this can help you 🙂 ---

If you have come from fastai c22p2 and are trying to access `"CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4"`, you need to go the relevant webpage in huggingface and accept the license first. ---
