I think that error message is pretty clear. Only admins can purge gateways.

Are you trying to purge it on a local version of The Things Stack or on The Things Stack Community Edition?

Hello @KrishnaIyerEaswaran2, I’m also getting the same error when I try to purge one of my gateways. Its weird because I’ve have logged in from the cli and redirected to a browser for the Oauth authentification. Even after logging in with my account which I am the only collaborator, I’m still getting this error.

The key word here is admin. Are you an admin to the network in which you’re trying to purge entities?
