Cause (Documented platform behavior): Auth manager enforces the workspace list and calls logout_with_message on mismatch.
Fix status: documented_behavior

- but current credentials belong to
- but current credentials lack a workspace identifier. Logging out.
- Login is restricted to a specific workspace, but the token did not include an chatgpt_account_id claim.

Proposed fix: [Codex CLI] 'Login is restricted to workspace(s) <id>, but current credentials belong to <id>. Logging out.' — forced_chatgpt_workspace_id policy
Recommended action: Sign in and pick the required workspace in the ChatGPT account chooser, or use a different CODEX_HOME/config without the restriction if permitted.
Option: Sign in and pick the required workspace in the ChatGPT account chooser, or use a different CODEX_HOME/config without the restriction if permitted. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Signing in with a personal/other ChatGPT workspace where admin config sets forced_chatgpt_workspace_id
Steps:
1. Run codex login and select the allowed workspace
2. Check config.toml / managed config for forced_chatgpt_workspace_id
3. API-key auth is not subject to this check
Expected: The error no longer appears.
