Issue with deployment and login loop due to lack of admin permission

Hey all, I have this really bizarre issue with deployment and login.I am stuck in a CLI loop – here’s what happens when I try to deploy:

$ sanity login
? Login type GitHub

Opening browser at <https://api.sanity.io/v1/auth/login/github?type=listen&uuid=5bdfec28f8357d0fef479bed44889d4c&source=cli>

Login successful
$ sanity deploy

✔ Verifying local content
✖ Deploying to Sanity.Studio
Error: You've been logged out. Log back in again with "sanity login"

    at u.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@sanity/cli/bin/sanity-cli.js:1554:181)
So I
1. login,
2. deploy,
3. deploy fails because i’m logged out
4. I log in again,
repeat.

What is happening here?

What happens if you run 
sanity logout && sanity login
to reset things, then try another deploy?
Apr 15, 2021, 8:22 PM
same thing – of course it think’s I’m logged out anyway so it says No Login Credentials Found:
$ sanity logout && sanity login
No login credentials found

Any chance the terminal command 
DEBUG=sanity* sanity deploy
returns anything useful?

Thanks again - it runs into the same issue –1. I login, successfully,
2. it goes partway through the Debug, and then throws the Error: You’ve been logged out.

Perhaps there’s something in these Debug results that could help?

There are. I’m guessing it’s due to your @sanity/client version. Any chance you’d be willing to update?

Aha. I think this may be it. I only have Read + Write access – gotta get Admin permission. I will update and try again as well.
Apr 15, 2021, 8:45 PM
Oh. For sure that’s it. I should have kept scrolling!
Apr 15, 2021, 8:45 PM
Thank you so much!!!!
