    403 Error on Preview

    We have our site with Umbraco 7 deployed to a server. Whenever we try to Preview content in the back office, we get a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. What permission do we need to grant to what account to enable Preview access?

    I am having the same issue as Tim. Previewing a page works fine on my local machine, however on the live version I am getting a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied" error when trying to preview any page.

    I have looked at the link provided by Samira above but I fail to see how it relates to this problem.

    I have also made sure write permissions have been set on the "App_Data" folder and the "preview" folder within it but the error remains.

    Index.htm and index.html was already on my default document list. Simply enabling default documents from IIS solved the 403 issue for me when previewing pages.

    Using IIS10 on Windows 10

    I am having the same issues. Index.html and index.htm is in the default document list. Any other idea how to fix this?

    I changed index.html to default.aspx so I could exclude the problem of directory listing. When changing to file to default.aspx it still doesn't work. Seems IIS somehow blocks the directory listing on the umbraco/preview/ directory.

    I fixed the issue by creating a rewrite rule in the web.config: 

     <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Preview voor Umbraco">
                <match url="^umbraco/preview/" />
                 <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                    <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^id=(.*)" />                       
                </conditions>
                <action type="Rewrite" url="umbraco/preview/index.html" appendQueryString="true" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

    Hi Rik,

    I have been battling the Preview functionality as well. It hasn't worked for a while on all our sites. I've tried your rewrite, but that just changes the error to a 404.

    Any thoughts?

    Try removing the "Preview" folder, from your "/Umbraco" directory on live.

    Umbraco HQ removed this folder, and placed the new preview templates in the Umbraco/Views folder.
