# 2 major issues here.. ## A) cannot access my namespace anymore my github account is not matching to my username in galaxy. That’s why I requested being admin on that here: > > > \## Namespace Request > Namespace: sedi > > \##### Description > collections made by …secure diversITy > > \##### GitHub Org Link > https://github.com/secure-diversITy > > \##### Admins > @se-di Now I cannot access that namespace anymore as admin. Please correct this as important fixes cannot be pushed atm. ## B) unexpected namespace name change The second issue is that the role namespace of another contribution has changed! > **[Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/namespaces/7973/)** before: `sedi.notify_teams` now: `secure-diversITy.notify_teams` Needless to say that I am not able to access that role namespace anymore as well other reports that unexpected namespace name change as well ---

Thanks @se-di - we’ve had reports of this already ([Search results for 'namespace' - Ansible](http://forum.ansible.com/search?q=namespace)) and I know the [@galaxy](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/galaxy) team are working on it just now. Some issues have already been fixed, and I see in [this topic](http://forum.ansible.com/t/namespace-changed-and-collection-upload-not-working/1314/5) there’s some back-and-forth on fixing individual namespace issues. ---

Do I need to do anything else to get awareness of my problems? Or just being more patient 🙂 ---

It’s possible this one slipped between the cracks - I’ve seen a lot of namespace issues being fixed in other threads, and I don’t think you’re being singled out specifically 🙂 I did see some discussion [in this thread](http://forum.ansible.com/t/data-migration-to-the-new-galaxy-ansible-com/1321/9) about non-default names, and that seems to be resolved, so hopefully yours can be too. Thanks for your patience, and for poking it again so politely! ---

I believe the ownership for the “sedi” namespace got fixed in one of the batch updates over the past weeks … ```auto [jtanner@p1 ~]$ curl -s -L http://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v1/namespaces/?name=sedi | jq . { "count": 1, "next": null, "previous": null, "results": [ { "id": 9792, "url": "", "summary_fields": { "owners": [ { "id": 18170, "username": "se-di" } ], "provider_namespaces": [ { "id": 1204, "name": "sedi", "pulp_href": "/api/pulp/api/v3/pulp_ansible/namespaces/1204/" } ] }, "created": "2023-09-25T14:55:53.633238Z", "modified": "2023-09-25T14:55:53.637397Z", "name": "sedi", "avatar_url": "https://github.com/sedi.png", "related": { "provider_namespaces": null, "content": null, "owners": "/api/v1/namespaces/9792/owners/" } } ] } ``` Can you please check again? ---

Unfortunately we still have the duplicate roles due to the namespace/github\_user mismatch. ```auto [jtanner@p1 ~]$ curl -s -L http://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v1/roles/?owner__username=secure-diversITy | jq . { "count": 1, "next": null, "previous": null, "results": [ { "id": 32284, "upstream_id": 62892, "created": "2023-08-01T21:17:31.604297Z", "modified": "2023-08-08T21:26:17.915254Z", "imported": "2023-08-08T02:56:46.468613-04:00", "github_user": "secure-diversITy", "username": "secure-diversITy", "github_repo": "ansible_role_notify-teams", "github_branch": "master", "commit": "bfb90d286f3ce3ad332f75f305cf10bb70602bb4", "commit_message": "Update README.md", "name": "notify_teams", "description": "Notification handler for MS-Teams", "summary_fields": { "dependencies": [], "namespace": { "id": 7973, "name": "secure-diversITy", "avatar_url": "https://github.com/secure-diversITy.png" }, "provider_namespace": null, "repository": { "name": "notify_teams", "original_name": "ansible_role_notify-teams" }, "tags": [ "msteams", "notification" ], "versions": [] }, "download_count": 161 } ] } [jtanner@p1 ~]$ curl -s -L http://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v1/roles/?owner__username=sedi | jq . { "count": 1, "next": null, "previous": null, "results": [ { "id": 35988, "upstream_id": 62892, "created": "2023-09-28T23:32:16.979558Z", "modified": "2023-10-10T00:48:31.278852Z", "imported": "2023-08-08T02:56:46.468613-04:00", "github_user": "secure-diversITy", "username": "sedi", "github_repo": "ansible_role_notify-teams", "github_branch": "master", "commit": "bfb90d286f3ce3ad332f75f305cf10bb70602bb4", "commit_message": "Update README.md", "name": "notify_teams", "description": "Notification handler for MS-Teams", "summary_fields": { "dependencies": [], "namespace": { "id": 9792, "name": "sedi", "avatar_url": "https://github.com/sedi.png" }, "provider_namespace": { "id": 1204, "name": "sedi", "pulp_href": "/api/pulp/api/v3/pulp_ansible/namespaces/1204/" }, "repository": { "name": "notify_teams", "original_name": "ansible_role_notify-teams" }, "tags": [ "msteams", "notification" ], "versions": [] }, "download_count": 175 } ] } ``` I’ve been working on a process to clean those up and deduplicate. ---

Hi and many thanks for looking into my issues! It seems i got my access to my collection back now but as you stated already the role is still a problem. Searching for the role points to this: [https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/namespaces/10461/](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/namespaces/10461/) Which is not my avatar btw and obviously wrong linked. I think this wrong link / avatar is because of a user on github with that username exists [sedi (Przemyslaw Siedlecki) · GitHub](https://github.com/sedi)
