# Method name: forbidden(message: string)

# Method package: wixRouter

# Method menu location: wixRouter --> forbidden

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/events-service-plugins/routers/service-plugins/wix-router/forbidden.md

# Method Description:

Returns a response with a status code 403 (Forbidden) and instructs the router to show a 403 page.

The `forbidden()` function is used in the [`router()`](wix-router/router), [`beforeRouter()`](wix-router/beforeRouter),
and [`afterRouter()`](wix-router/afterRouter) hooks to indicate that the requested page
is forbidden. Optionally, you can pass a message that otherwise defaults to
'Forbidden'.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Create a forbidden response

```javascript
import {forbidden} from 'wix-router';

export function myRouter_Router(request) {

  return forbidden();
}
```
