Our group Strigid experienced our ‘Contributor’ role switch to the first role in the group. This caused all new players to join that role instead of our default ‘Supporter’ role. There was no change to the order of the roles and nothing appears in Audit Log. We have automatic admin in game for our ‘Contributor’ role so all new players who had joined the group before we rectified the error, received admin access in game.
This is a huge issue apparently it’s affecting a large amount of groups. Newer people who join don’t get the “Member” rank instead they could get “Admin” if the group was affected. I sent a message privately for more proof.
Just a quick update. Our team has applied a fix on the DB level, however there is still cached data that could cause the main bug of adding new Group members to the wrong role. That should be resolved within the next 36hrs. Our team is continuing to work on mitigating the impact of this issue.
