Hello there,
We are currently facing an issue with creating a repository using a PowerShell script.
Once the script has performed its work (create repo, import data, set role assignements), all groups become unavailable for a few minutes (Administration > User Groups List is empty), and thus non of our users are able to use RDM, as all repositories disappear.
If I flush the cache in the admin panel the issue resolves immediately instead of after a few minutes.
Please let me know if and what logs you need from me to troubleshoot this. (I'm an engineer without access to the file system of the VM that runs the application or database. If you can point me to exact locations that would be appreciated)
Relevant snippet from Powershell:
