# NeuronNoValidatorPermit (/docs/errors/chain/NeuronNoValidatorPermit)

The hotkey tried to set weights on other neurons without holding a validator permit on that subnet. Check `ValidatorPermit` for the neuron's uid (e.g. via the metagraph or `btcli subnets metagraph`) and whether its stake ranks it as a validator.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`not_authorized`](/docs/errors/not-authorized).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Sign with the key or origin that owns the target object, then retry

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain NeuronNoValidatorPermit`.
