Thanks for the report! I followed the instructions to reproduce the issue but couldn't.

Could you try again, please?

It doesn't work for me yet.

But it works for our QA...

@mariajgrimaldi We've found the root-cause! (thanks @dyudyunov !)
I'm opening the https://apps.redwood.demo.edly.io/course-authoring/home directly w/o opening the https://studio.redwood.demo.edly.io in the first place.
In this case the MFE doing the request for oauth2 to login into the studio and failed because of CORS.
When I'm opening the Studio MFE from studio.redwood.demo.edly.io I became a logged in user and the login flow from MFE is not triggered.

@cmltaWt0 @dyudyunov: thank you both for the insight! I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior, so I opened an issue in the Course Authoring MFE to alert maintainers.
