Current_user groups is empty

Current plan level: Business
Monthly/Annual: Monthly
Version of Retool (if self-hosted): n/a

Question / Description:
The current_user object returns an empty groups list, even though I can clearly see my groups in the settings (https://nimblerx.retool.com/settings/users).

This is breaking a lot of important apps for us since they are visible based on these groups.

I just realized this is the issue I just started having, so linking posts

I am having the same issue. Groups is empty now on current_user

I'm also having the same issue. Our admin and customer portals are down

We are actively investigating this and will follow up here as soon as we know more. Thanks everybody for flagging the issue so quickly!

Having the same issue. Totally new to Workflows and didn't understand how things just suddenly started breaking. (just released to Production for the very first time today, real bad timing! :rofl:)

Thanks to @bobthebear for your post (Unable to test query block: no access) - that's how I finally found I wasn't alone in this.

In case it's at all helpful in troubleshooting/resolving the issue: I also noticed that one of my workflows somehow fell off of the "Usage" list for the specific REST API Resource that appears to be broken when trying to execute individual blocks. There are TWO Workflows using that Resource, so it doesn't make sense why only ONE of them shows in the "Usage" list.

Hey everyone, we really appreciate your patience with this! We just rolled back to our previous cloud release. Can you let us know if the groups are being returned properly? Thank You!

I was running into the same thing, and now it seems to work (the effect for me was being unable to run steps in workflows.)

Things worked, thanks for the quick response!

We did notice some that current_user.groups was still empty for some, but restored for others at some point shortly after the roll back. I figure that may be caused by Retool's deployment strategy.
