| Type | Issue key | Module | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| AC-6284 | Authorization | After deactivation of a user, that user could still access the application for a duration of 30 minutes, because the user data were cached for 30 minutes. The cached response was removed; access of deactivated users to the platform is now immediately suspended. | ||
