Unable to log in to invited project - getting 500 error

5 repliesLast updated: Nov 29, 2025

Hi there! I'm hoping I can get some guidance or a hand with explaining why I'm unable to log in to a project I've been invited to. Whenever I attempt to log in, I get an internal 500 error. I'm having no trouble logging in to other projects I have access to, but no matter what browser or whether or not I'm in private browsing I can't get access to the new project.
Thank you!

I'm sorry you're running into this frustrating issue! A 500 internal server error when trying to access a specific project (while other projects work fine) is definitely unusual and points to something specific with that project's configuration or your access setup.

Here are the most likely causes and what you can try:

1. Project-level permission issue Sometimes there can be a misconfiguration in how your user account was invited or assigned permissions to the specific project. Since you can access other projects fine, your Sanity account itself is working correctly - this is isolated to this one project.

2. Organization-level access conflict If the project is under a different organization than your other projects, there might be an organization-level permission issue. Projects can be moved between organizations, and sometimes access settings don't sync properly during or after such moves.

3. What you should do:

Since this is a server-side error (500 status), there's likely something in the project configuration that needs to be fixed by someone with admin access:

The fact that you've already tried different browsers and private browsing (good troubleshooting!) confirms this isn't a local cache or cookie issue - it's something on Sanity's end that needs admin or support intervention.
