I've been poking around on auth error codes (401 vs 403) and I think that 403 is used specifically for "you don't have sufficient privileges". Ie, "you're requesting an admin resource but you're only a piddly user". So TMK where we're lacking an auth_token, it should still be a 401. Feel free to close if I'm wrong
