### Fixed issues

*   Certain websites or site collections (specifically those with either no owner or having a blocked user be the owner) could not be staged to non-production environments.
*   Websites duplicated using the Site Factory API had no owner.
*   Attempts to sign in to the non-production Site Factory Management Console failed if the Site Factory Management Console was not the SAML identity provider.
*   In some circumstances, two-factor authentication failed to install correctly.
*   Attempts to create a website with invalid characters in the sitename failed with an error that did not indicate the invalid characters.
