My understanding is that ANY early backer gets "founder" status, not just the kick starter backers.
Have you completed any special missions or won the treasure hunt?
If not don't worry about it. Just get there quick, load up on fancy modules and fly out like you just robbed the place.
Which is what you will have done if it's a bug.
Did you back premium beta or standard beta?Also this is very honest of you![]()
I am also a beta backer (would have been a Kickstarter or alpha backer if I had heard of it before I did - I have many many hours in the original Elite on the Commodore 64 from my teenage days) and have access to Shinrarta Dezhra. I believe we are supposed to have this, or were inadvertently grouped in with the kickstarter/alpha backers, as I have had it since launch. I have never seen anyone complain about any of us having it.
During Beta 3 some accounts got the permit by accident. The error was corrected, but after Beta 3 they stopped whipping accounts so those accounts who had it still have these permits, until you clear your save yourself, then it'll be gone.
Account who have a genuine right to it, will still have it after a clear save. Or not, but thats how I recall it![]()

Nuh-uhI'm an early premium beta backer, but I got it after becoming an elite explorer.
if a DEV could reply to this that would be great but I've put several hundred hours into my game and I've no intention of wiping save, but if I'm not supposed to have the permit I'm quite happy for it to be removed.
Access to the world of the founder, and the founder status are not the same thing. Only the backers of kickstarter at the level £150+ are a founding member

Nobody's complaining that you have the permit. Use it if you like. Don't use it if you don't want to. You'll get it again eventually anyway.

Are you sure you are premium beta backer and not an alpha backer? Alpha testing came after KS but before PB.I was a premium bata backer (Just after the kickstarter during the backers app days) and I have the Shinrarta Dezhra access permit .. and I wiped my save just after Horizons dropped and I still have the permit.
I believe that if you backed to a certain level, one of the backer starts was to start in the founders system (Shinrarta Dezhra) .. which obviously means that you have the permit to be there.
But like others have said there was a bug that gave loads of people access ..
