Admin FAQ

Common admin troubleshooting and operations questions.

I can see the org but get "Access denied" in admin.

Your signed-in GitHub user may not have required permissions for that installation target. Verify org/admin rights and retry.

Checks are not blocking merges. Why?

Ensure CLA Bot / Contributor License Agreement is required in branch protection/rulesets.

A contributor signed, but checks didn't update immediately.

Check synchronization is async. Wait briefly and refresh checks. If needed, trigger /recheck per your process.

Bypass entry isn't behaving as expected.

Confirm the actor was added in the correct bypass type (user vs app/bot), and verify slug formatting.

What happens if the org is inactive?

When enforcement is inactive, CLA checks converge to passing and managed CLA prompt comments are cleared.
