 Description   

Authorization failures issued by info.magnolia.cms.security.URISecurityFilter#isAuthorized are only logged at debug level. After failure a login form is shown to the user which says nothing about why access to a certain resource has been denied and rather let them think that something was wrong with their username/password. It would be nice to give visual feedback in the login form also for this kind of errors, as it is done for authentication failures (e.g. wrong password).

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
