Description

After logging out of one account and back into my personal account, I lost the ability to access my private files through both the keybase app and the terminal.

johncrossman$ cd /keybase/private/jgcrossman2/
Johns-MacBook-Pro:jgcrossman2 johncrossman$ ls
ls: .: Permission denied

keybase status

Default user: jgcrossman2
Other users: blockchainhealth

Research direction

Start by reproducing the permission failure in the Keybase app and terminal after switching back to the personal account, using the reported /keybase/private/jgcrossman2/ path and keybase status output. Use log id 0e16b0e79edafc45aa889b1c when investigating; done means private files are accessible again from both entry points.
