Elevated Dashboard Errors

Incident Report for balena.io

Postmortem

We identified an issue in Dashboard v32.2.0, released on March 2, 2026, where opening the dashboard via a direct link to certain pages (such as billing or other account management pages) could result in being unexpectedly redirected to the fleets overview. This was caused by a race condition in our access control logic that made a routing decision before all authorization data had finished loading.

The issue was resolved on March 3, 2026 with a fix that ensures the dashboard waits for all access information to be available before determining whether a user can view a page.

We understand this was frustrating, particularly for users trying to manage billing or account settings via bookmarked or shared links. We apologize for the disruption and are adding test coverage for direct-link navigation to prevent similar regressions in the future.
