Dear All,

I am struggling to delete item or even bitstream on DSpace 9.2, the error i immediately receiving in dspace.log file is as follows:

2026-02-26 11:23:35,175 WARN unknown 8e297d56-d909-48d5-be61-be771255857d org.dspace.app.rest.exception.DSpaceApiExceptionControllerAdvice @ Authentication is required (status:401 exception: Access Denied at: org.springframework.security.authorization.method.ThrowingMethodAuthorizationDeniedHandler.handleDeniedInvocation(ThrowingMethodAuthorizationDeniedHandler.java:38))

I am using site administrator user account to perform deletion, please advise on any suggestion I should follow to resolve the problem.

Item withdrawal is working fine but not exact solution as we will loss stats on item that only bitstream should be replaced.

If there is more needed please let me know I will share on this problem so that it can make clear sense.

Regards,

Lewatle

The first thing I would look for is incorrect ownership of files in
the assetstore(s).
