# Photo Not Approved

> The photo has not been approved for assignment

## Cause

The photo cannot be assigned to a resource because it has not been approved. Only photos with state 'approved' can be assigned to services, shops, or barber profiles.

## Fix

Wait for the photo to be reviewed and approved before attempting to assign it. You can check the photo's current state by retrieving the photo details. Photos must go through the review process and reach the 'approved' state before they can be assigned.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.
