# Releases and Known Issues

## Known Issues

The following items are current EasyCLA v2 behavior notes and known limitations:

* [Auto-Branch Protection behavior](#auto-branch-protection)
* [Organization Association](#organization-association)
* [Sanctions Screening of Organizations](#sanctions-screening-of-organizations)

### Auto-Branch Protection

Auto-Branch Protection behavior currently differs by provider:

* **GitHub:** when EasyCLA auto branch protection is enabled, EasyCLA configures branch protection rules that target all branches.
* **GitLab:** EasyCLA currently protects only the project's default branch automatically. If non-default branches also require EasyCLA enforcement, configure those branches manually in GitLab.

### Organization Association

Currently, user roles in EasyCLA can only be associated with a single company or organization at a time.

### Sanctions Screening of Organizations

EasyCLA [automatically screens organizations](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/automated-sanctions-screening.md) against government sanctions lists during the CCLA signing workflow — when the CCLA is prepared for signature, and again when the signed CCLA is finalized — and when employee acknowledgements (ECLA) are completed:

* Organizations flagged by the screening cannot sign a CCLA or complete ECLA acknowledgements until they are reviewed and cleared. Individual CLAs (ICLA) are not affected.
* Screening results are reused for a few minutes. After an organization is cleared, retry the blocked action after a few minutes — no manual steps are needed in EasyCLA.
