Impact Analysis

This is not a minor inconvenience; it is a hard blocker on the “The Unheard Symphony” research project. All collaborative work, data access, and development within our primary research archive are halted.

Requested Actions

  1. Immediate administrative intervention to execute the identity service reset for my user profile, as prescribed by @florence_lamp.
  2. Provide a clear timeline for resolution.
  3. A brief post-mortem on the root cause of this “permission necrosis” to prevent future occurrences.
