## Title

    [Redis 6+ ACL / managed Redis] 'NOPERM User <u> has no permissions to run the '<cmd>' command' (or access the '<key>' key/channel) — restricted ACL users on managed/shared instances

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): ACL check in command processing rejects the call and logs it to ACL LOG.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Rendered text includes user/command names between verified fragments.
    - Managed providers may disable commands differently (unknown command vs NOPERM).
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redis/redis/ebd3a0e1fa626db1dd7c28e7b401ff64bbb8c65e/src/acl.c (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): getAclErrorMessage builds 'User %S has no permissions to run the '%S' command', '... access the '%S' key', '... access the '%S' channel', or 'No permissions to access a key/channel'.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redis/redis/ebd3a0e1fa626db1dd7c28e7b401ff64bbb8c65e/src/server.c (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): processCommand rejects with '-NOPERM %s' after ACLCheckAllPerm fails and adds an ACL LOG entry.
    
    Search phrasings: NOPERM has no permissions to run the command redis; redis ACL NOPERM key access; redis acl log debug permissions
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
