Several people, one newsroom.
Invite members, assign roles, sign in with Google — and a session that takes its leave properly when it expires.
What you can do with it
- Manage members and assign roles.
- Invite new users by link; the temporary password is shown once.
- Sign in with email and password or with Google.
- Reset a password by email.
- Manage your own account.
The thinking behind it
Two sign-in faults went unseen for a long time because they disguised themselves as something else. An expired session produced a network error in the browser instead of a recognisable “not signed in” — so the application could not detect the state and could not send you to the login.
Both are fixed, and both were a question of order rather than of logic: the access gate sat outside the layer that lets the browser read the answer at all.
Improvements
An expired session clears itself up
Instead of leaving an unclear error standing, the application recognises the expired session and sends you to the login.
The browser is allowed to read the refusal
The “not signed in” answer arrived without the headers a browser needs to evaluate it at all, so it was discarded as a network error. It now arrives legible.
