Deployments blocked on Vercel

[itayashkenazi-2850 (ItayA)]

We’ve recently started experiencing issues with deployments being blocked on Vercel.

So far, we’ve identified two cases:

1. Cursor agent email mismatch – Deployments triggered by Cursor are using agent@cursor.com instead of cursoragent@cursor.com, causing them to be flagged as bot activity and blocked.

2. New integrations user – A newly created integrations user under our domain is also encountering blocked deployments in some cases.

These blocks are impacting our automation workflows, leading to failed processes when deployments are prevented.

We’d appreciate your help in understanding why these deployments are being flagged and how we can prevent legitimate automated deployments from being blocked.

Vercel deployment blocked because commit author does not have contributing access

Hi @aminefourari, welcome to the Vercel Community! I’m sorry you’re facing this issue. Could you ensure your GitHub account is linked in https://vercel.com/account/settings/authentication? If it’s linked, could you try removing and relinking it? After that try pushing a new commit and let me know if you still face the issue.

Does that help?

Vercel deployment blocked because commit author does not have contributing access

I am receiving the following error during deployment: Error: Deployment Blocked The Deployment was blocked because the commit author does not have contributing access to the project on Vercel.
