**What Happened** On July 30, 2026, non-administrative users who should have access to edit distribution lists could not do that via the InformaCast web application. Access to update distribution lists through the API or by administrative users was not impacted. **Root Cause** We made changes to the distribution lists pages that were released on July 29, 2026. These changes were intended as a simple update to the form, but they introduced a request to retrieve information inaccessible to most non-administrator users, including those with the Notification Sender permissions set. **Resolution** We updated the form to correctly gate information intended for administrators, which in turn restored the ability for non-administrators to access the form. To safeguard against similar issues with our permissions in the future, we will be updating our automated testing to better cover non-administrator access throughout our application.
