# `review_assigned_elsewhere` — Review assigned to another user

**HTTP 403 Forbidden**

Message: "This review is assigned to another user."

Envelope schema: `ErrorEnvelope` in [openapi.json](https://cascades.crscreditapi.com/openapi.json#/components/schemas/ErrorEnvelope) ([YAML](https://cascades.crscreditapi.com/openapi.yaml)).

## What causes it
- The execution's review is assigned to a different user on the account, and the caller is neither that user nor an admin.

## How to fix it
1. Claim the review first with `POST /executions/{id}/review_assignment` and `assignee: "me"`, then decide.
2. Or unassign it (`assignee: null`) if the current assignee has abandoned it.

## Operations that return it
- [POST /executions/{id}/review_decisions](/docs/api/executions/submit-review-decision) — Approve or deny a paused review
