Cause

The reason of this issue is that you have already logged in to the frontend using a different user.

Use Case: When you log into SDK with the PDI development user e.g. PDI_DEV. In parallel you had opened already a browser session where you have logged in with another user  e.g. KEY_USER in the same system/client that you have logged to SDK.

And now you try to open the Enhance Form screen from the SDK the browser opens but the cookie used is the cookie from the KEY_USER login and not from the SDK Login (PDI_DEV) user. And the KEY_USER login does not have the authorization to maintain PDI extensions.

Resolution

You should ensure that you log-in to SDK and UI with same credentials when you try to enhance form from SDK to the frontend.

Note: This is the same procedure with the other Enhance scenarios for eg. Enhance Report.
