I am not able as user 1 to access the 'Extend -> Update' or 'Extend -> Install new module' pages (I can, however, access the 'Extend -> Uninstall' page). This has only started happening in the last few days.The message I get is:

Access denied You are not authorized to access this page.

I am on a Drupal 9.4.8 distro running on a Siteground remote server. This has only started happening in the last few days.

I looked at this page which had some helpful suggestions:

Not able to access "Updates" page logged in as admin user

I have so far tried:

setting allow_authorize_operations to True in settings.php,
rebuilding permissions under "/admin/reports/status/rebuild"
and clearing cache with drush cr.

None of the above resolved the problem so I am still looking for a solution.

The log messages are:

Path: /admin/modules/install. Drupal\Core\Http\Exception\CacheableAccessDeniedHttpException: in Drupal\Core\Routing\AccessAwareRouter->checkAccess() (line 118 of /[site_root]/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/AccessAwareRouter.php).

and:

Path: /admin/modules/update. Drupal\Core\Http\Exception\CacheableAccessDeniedHttpException: in Drupal\Core\Routing\AccessAwareRouter->checkAccess() (line 118 of /[site_root]/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/AccessAwareRouter.php).

I would appreciate any help/advice with debugging this.

Welcome to Drupal Answers! I voted to close this one as a duplicate because we can’t have two identical questions.

As I stated in the OP, I have looked at the link you posted but it did not resolve the issue I am having. I responded to the post in the link but you replied that I was not answering the question so I deleted my response. I have tried all the suggestions in the post linked to but none of them work for me. I am happy to put the above post under a different question if that helps.

It is not an "identical" question. It is 'similar' but not "identical". I have already stated that the answers to the other question, although very useful, did not help me to resolve the issue I am having (as I have documented in the body of the question and as I also repeated in the comment above), which is why I am asking here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
