 * Hey all,
 * Odd issue. Am trying to edit a customer on an ecommerce site. Every time I hit“
   Update User”, I get a 403 Forbidden page (I am the site admin). I can edit other
   users just fine. I tried duplicating the user and get the same issue.
   Logs in
   cPanel show a File not found error which makes absolutely no sense to me at all.
   Has anyone encountered this issue before?
 * Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 * One of the most common reasons for a 403 forbidden error is the settings for 
   a specific folder or file. These determine which users can read, write, or execute
   that folder or file.
 * 403 forbidden indicates you don’t have permission to access this resource’ is
   displayed when a web server recognizes a user’s request but is unable to allow
   additional access.
 * You may ask your hosting provider to look into this permission issue to access
   this user.
