Passing Errors With Api?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Hello. Tell me please. What is the best way to organize the transmission of business logic errors. For example, if the user is not authenticated, or not found at all, or there are no access rights ... well, there may be a lot of conditions? Send code in response body:

200 { status: false, error: user not found', code: 'свой код ошибки' }

or
Or send an error in the http status code , but the number of codes there is not very large to cover all possible errors in the application? Interested in the architectural aspect
Thank you

Respond with the appropriate http code and return a string or json with the detailed error text in the body.
