Buildkite: Okta logins causing loss of administrator access
Timeline of updates
- resolved
We received multiple reports of users logging in via Okta and losing their administrator access. An update to the Buildkite Okta config had been deployed several days before, which caused an empty admin attribute to be sent to us. This was resolved by deploying a fix that ignored the empty admin attribute such that admin access isn't removed on login. We'll be reaching out to affected teams to assist with anyone who has lost admin access for their organization.
