Hi, I am in charge of our company collection namespace: [wescale](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/namespaces/wescale/). - Trying to publish only leads me to a 403 Forbidden error message. - Listing my namespaces through `https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/my-namespaces` does not show `wescale` anymore. - Investigating details through the `Access` tab of the namespace does not show any owner. I tried renewing my ANSIBLE\_GALAXY\_TOKEN with no success. I’m looking for help please. ---

We are currently investigating some ownership issues to namespaces right now. I’ll mark to check this one and report back when we think it is fix. ---

Thanks for the update. Same goes for the collection that I also maintain: `https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/rtnp/galaxie_clans/` Be strong. Thanks for your efforts. 🫶 ---

The namespace `wescale` is back in my kingdom. Thanks a lot! The second case was not clear enough : the namespace `rtnp` containing the collection `galaxie_clans` should be re-attributed to the Galaxy user `rtnp`. Thanks again. ---

I’m also missing three namespaces that I had access to. How/who to contact to regain access? ---

We are auditing any mentions in the forum, so mention them here. Or you can have a ticket opened in the [issues.redhat.com](http://issues.redhat.com) [epic](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/AAH-2737) if you are a customer via support. Either is fine. We are working to try to resolve all cases we know about ASAP. ---
