Astronomer: Permissions silently dropped from custom roles
Astronomer reported a major outage from 2026-09-17 17:54 UTC to 2026-09-17 21:50 UTC, lasting 3 h 56 min. A regression from a change rolled out that day silently dropped custom-role permissions, causing reported deploy failures for tokens using those roles; re-adding deployment.deploys.create mitigated failures. All custom roles were restored, and the incident was resolved.

Timeline of updates
- identified
We have identified a regression affecting custom roles due to a change rolled out today. This resulted in permissions being dropped from custom roles silently. We have received reports of deploys linked to tokens using custom roles not working. Until the fix has been rolled out, deploy failures can be mitigated by re-adding the deployment.deploys.create permission to your custom role. You may also manually restore any other permissions that were silently dropped. We are working on fixing this regression for all affected custom roles.
- monitoring
All custom roles have been restored to their previous functionality and full operation has been restored.
- resolved
No further issues have been found, so this is being marked as resolved.
