  1. investigating May 21, 2026, 06:22 AM UTC

    We are currently fixing an issue that affects a limited group of customers who are not yet using Sympa’s new user role model. Due to a change activated earlier than intended, some users’ access rights may temporarily not match the intended setup. This means that some users may see less information than expected, while in some cases users may also see information based on role settings that were still being prepared. The issue has been identified and our team is actively working to restore the intended access rights as quickly as possible. We apologise for the disruption and concern this may cause. We will provide the next update here as soon as the fix has progressed. Your Sympa Team
