Error: You are not authorized to access the requested page
Hello to Piwigo users,
I recently began to get this message "You are not authorized to access the requested page" when changing from one Admin page to another. It logs me out and when I log back in, the desired page loads fine. It is not a disaster, but it is annoying.
All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks. However, it occurs with different browsers and even different PCs. It started after the last update.

Hi :-)
@dfowlkes
Do you use a VPN ?
In Administration > Users > Manage > Tab activity
your user change IP between pages ?

Re: Error: You are not authorized to access the requested page
Sorry, I did not see this response.
No, no VPN.
Cookies are not being cleared from other sites.
The error continues to persist even with the most recent update (15.2.0).
I have even moved to a new server with clean install. The error continues. It is frequent e.g. looking at photos, using the admin panel etc.
I willing to try any ideas.
Thanks!
