Trying to upload to my front end Canister and it’s erroring, I’ve added the controller. It still doesn’t work: `Error: The Replica returned an error: code 4, message: "Caller is not authorized"` ![Screenshot 2022-07-11 at 15.33.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/4/46bbc3ae75a8d4449d4247d6b6d35fe651185ae8.png) ---

Are you sure you are using the right identity ? dfx identity get-principal ---

The certified asset canister keeps its own state of [authorized principles](https://github.com/dfinity/cdk-rs/blob/39688bd8151c714436462ad9da457fd99f9a2082/src/ic-certified-assets/src/state_machine.rs#L217) independent of the controllers of the actual canister. Initially only the principal that installed the certified asset canister is in this list of authorized principals. ---

Did you upgrade dfx recently? You may have a conflict between a canister that was proxied through a cycles wallet, and making the call directly from your dfx identity. Try this command to auto-fix those settings for your project: ````auto dfx canister --wallet "$(dfx identity --network ic get-wallet)" --network ic update-settings --all --add-controller "$(dfx identity get-principal)"``` ```` ---

Yeah I tried the following with the return value from `dfx identity get-principal` `dfx canister --network ic call "dwqte-viaaa-aaaai-qaufq-cai" authorize '(principal "...")'` Still getting the same error. On deploy ☹ ---

Okay, if that’s erroring it’s probably because the owner is already authorized. What exact command are you using to deploy, and what version of `dfx` are you using? ---

`dfx: 0.10.0` command is `dfx deploy --network ic --no-wallet` here’s the `dfx.json` ```auto { "canisters": { "feedback": { "main": "src/backend/feedback.mo", "type": "motoko" }, "dsocial": { "main": "src/backend/main.mo", "type": "motoko" }, "frontend" : { "dependencies": ["dsocial", "feedback"], "frontend": { "entrypoint": "build/index.html" }, "source": [ "build" ], "type": "assets" } }, "defaults": { "build": { "output": "canisters", "packtool": "" } }, "networks": { "local": { "bind": "127.0.0.1:8000", "type": "ephemeral" } }, "version": 1 } ``` Thanks for your help, here to do anything to get this resolved. Lots of code to deploy!! ---

Try removing `--no-wallet`. It’s deprecated in 0.10.0, although I notice it still shows up in the help command ---

> [@anon74414410](#): > > `dfx identity --network ic get-wallet)` This is a bit scary TBH, from what I can see I have to setup a new wallet? But I already have an NNS account linked to an Internet Identity that owns all the canisters for DSocial. Can I not use this account already with a ton of ICP and setup? Would be cool if you could just `dfx login` and it would auth you with your NNS account and just work out the box. Feels like I could easily make a mistake here. I’m probably not understanding how to do this, I simply want to deploy to my current canisters. Backend canisters work no problem, it is just this front canister that is not working. ---

Oh wait, this isn’t a matter of controllers at all. This is about uploads after the fact. You can either reinstall the asset canister with ```auto dfx build dfx canister install --mode reinstall ``` or you need to call the `authorize` method on your canister with your current ID. Your identity is a controller, but it is not authorized to upload assets, for some convoluted reason. ---

Thanks Kyle - will this allow reinstall the dep canisters or just the frontend canister? Forgive my fear, just don’t want to lose all previous state ---

specifying the name of the asset canister for `dfx install` will only affect the named canister. We also have protection against running `dfx install` with `--mode reinstall` for all canisters. It is only allowed while targeting a single canister ---
