Update: Problem Resolved :white_check_mark:

Thanks again to everyone who offered input – and special thanks to @pfaffman for immediately pointing us in the right direction.

We’ve now identified and fixed the issue:

:wrench: The setting allow new registrations was indeed disabled in our hosted instance.

This blocked OAuth-based signups even though Patreon authentication itself was working properly. Here’s what we’ve confirmed:

  1. :white_check_mark: We successfully tested the entire signup and login flow using a completely new Patreon account.
  2. :white_check_mark: The user who originally brought the issue to our attention was also able to log in without any problems afterward.

Everything is functioning correctly now – users are being created and are added to the appropriate Patreon group as expected. :+1:

Thanks again for your help and support!
