504 Gateway Time-out error when adding new users

[ghost]

We keep getting below message when adding a new user:

504 Gateway Time-out
The server didn't respond in time.

The user is actually added, but we shouldn't be getting this error. It may be because your Fastly backend definition may need its timeout setting adjusted, to allow your origin backend to finish its response.
