How to Perform a Re-Authentication

Overview

If you are seeing permission errors in CircleCI but your user has the correct permissions in GitHub or BitBucket (including unauthorized or blocked builds, organization is not listed, ...etc), you can first try refreshing permissions. If this does not solve the issue, we recommend performing a full re-authentication. This will force CircleCI to re-sync permissions from your VCS.
