Sometimes user faces authorisation issue even though they have access

[manjitapandey]

Describe the bug
Sometimes some endpoints randomly fails due to authorisation. The error msg says user is not authorised to do so. But after logging out and logging in again the issue is fixed. I have faced this issue in endpoints like project form update and getting organisation list during project creation.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'create project'
2. Click on 'see the list of org not visible'
3. Sign out and sign in again
4. See the issue is fixed

Expected behavior
The user should be able to do specific task every time if they have access.

Additional context
I am still not able to get the pattern of this error. Its irregular but this may be due to authorisation issue.

Which server?

Think this was fixed on dev & I imagined we would release again before Christmas.

But as we will wait until after, either we cherry pick the fix to prod or wait for the new release 😃

It seems to work after rebuilding once locally.

Just faced the issue again. Is it due to cache or anything??
I can't see organisation list on dev server though i am admin

Its due to cookie expiry after a time, unless you visit the page before the cookie expires and it's refreshed. So no visit in 3 days would cause expiry I think.

Solvable by automatically removing the frontend login state on first load, if the cookie / token is expired. I thought we had logic for this, but it should be checked
